The 9 Most Bizarre Gardens in the World

Rock Garden of Chandigarh: Chandigarh, India

This bizarre garden was a pet project of late government official Nek Chand Sani, who began work on it in 1957. The rock garden near Sukhna Lake is made from discarded, and recycled items, including home waste, glasses, and pots Nek Chand Sani found around the city.

After 18 years, Sani learned that the 40-plus-acre land he’d been working on, which now contained an overflowing number of sculptures, was actually an off-limits conservation area.

But when authorities with plans for demolition began to close in, public support saved the day! In 1976, the site was officially opened to the public, and Sani was even granted a staff of 50 people to assist him in finishing his plans.
