A '''[[botanical garden]]''' is a place where [[plant]]s, especially [[fern]]s, [[conifer]]s and [[flowering]] plants, are grown and displayed for the purposes of [[research]] and [[education]]. This distinguishes them from parks and pleasure gardens where plants, usually with beautiful flowers, are grown for public amenity [[Botanical garden]]s that specialize in trees are sometimes referred to as [[arboretum|arboreta]].  They are occasionally associated with [[zoo]]s. The botanical garden in [[Nashik]] is the first of its kind in the country and only one in South East Asia with a unique laser show.
