Botanical gardens are gardens dedicated to collecting, cultivating, and displaying a wide variety of labeled plants. They contain different plant collections like tropical plants, herbs, cacti, and greenhouses. Botanical gardens are often run by universities or research organizations and serve purposes like education, scientific research, conservation, and addressing climate change by sequestering carbon and increasing cloud cover. Some examples of botanical gardens in India include the Empress Garden in Pune, Lalbagh Garden in Bangalore, and the largest in Asia, the Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Garden in Kerala.

- 9. 5- Climate Change * plants can alter the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use energy from the sun to draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then use it to create the carbohydrates they need to grow. Since carbon dioxide is one of the most abundant greenhouse gases, the removal of the gas from the atmosphere may temper the warming of our planet as a whole. *transpiration in plants can increase water vapor in the atmosphere, causing more precipitation and cloud cover in an area. The additional cloud cover often reinforces the cooling by blocking sunlight. *Contribute to soil fertility and prevent soil erosion
