Heritage Garden Powai: Celebrating Nature, Sustainability, and Design

Discovering the Heritage Garden

Tucked away in the vibrant urban landscape of Powai, Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Udyan—formerly known as Heritage Garden—offers a serene escape. Spanning five acres and established in 2004-05, this oasis is a perfect example of how modern living can harmonize with nature's tranquility. Located on Cliff Avenue, it offers both residents and visitors a peaceful retreat that blends urban sophistication with the calm beauty of nature.

Innovative Landscaping: Redefining Green Spaces

Setting itself apart from traditional garden layouts, this space embraces the natural sloping terrain, transforming it into an aesthetic masterpiece. Through innovative techniques like contour rows, stepped terraces, and honeycomb grass pavers, the garden preserves soil stability and ensures effective water management. These design features enhance the visual appeal while fostering an inviting environment that mirrors the principles of Hiranandani Greens. Winding walkways and a dedicated jogging track meander through the garden, providing a rejuvenating experience for fitness enthusiasts and casual strollers alike. A mix of softscape and hardscape elements ensures the garden is not only visually striking but also highly functional.

Pioneering Sustainable Urban Ecology

In line with Hiranandani's commitment to sustainability, the garden integrates several eco-friendly initiatives. Rainwater harvesting systems conserve valuable resources, while features such as percolation ponds, recharge wells, and filtration mechanisms help enhance groundwater levels. These elements make the garden a sustainable model of urban ecology within the city's heart.

Key Features That Set It Apart

A Garden Like No Other

Heritage Garden goes beyond being just a green space—it fosters biodiversity, promotes community bonding, and serves as a hub for environmental education.
