Though it is man-made, the Rock Garden is fundamentally an eco-park, built entirely on the philosophy of recycling and existing in harmony with its surrounding forest buffer.
* **The Garden Ecosystem:** The site is heavily forested with indigenous trees, providing a cooling canopy and acting as a sanctuary for local birdlife. * **Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary:** Located just behind the Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake, this protected area is home to peacocks, sambar deer, and migratory birds. * **Zakir Hussain Rose Garden:** Located nearby in Sector 16, this is Asia's largest botanical garden dedicated to roses, often visited in tandem with the Rock Garden.
