Sunder Nursery was established by the British to experiment with the trees proposed to be grown in the new capital in Delhi. It is a large, enclosed nursery on the north side of Humayun’s Tomb, owned and operated by the Central Public Works Department. Located in south central Delhi and spread over twenty-eight hectares, the development of Sunder Nursery into a sustainable park is part of a larger socio-economic development programme that includes the urban regeneration of Nizamuddin Basti and restoration of Humayun’s Tomb complex (a World Heritage Site)
