The arboretum is a unique feature of SDMC Ujire, established in 1999 with an objective of conservation and documentation of diversity of flora with reference to Western Ghats of India. It is a botanical garden expanding over eight acres of land. More than 500 species of medicinal plants are conserved here, making way for R&D and extension activities in the field.<\/p>

The arboretum was initially established with the support of Zilla Panchayat Mangalore, and is now managed by SDME Society. It currently houses 1116 trees of different types (as per census conducted during Sep \u2013 Dec 2020).

\u2018The gate to heaven\u2019, an architectural delight on SDM road at Ujire resembling its homonym counterpart in Bali, Indonesia, has led you here, to what we have defined as heaven since the inception of SDM.<\/p>

Look closely, listen intently; for all the music, all the soul and all the essence of the world are enwrapped right here in nature. Hold the roots, follow the wind and allow the canopy to drape you in a sense of serenity.<\/p>

\u201cIf heaven ever appears on earth, it\u2019ll simply be a grove with fresh air, chirping birds and a whole lot of greenery that fills the heart\u201d, believed Dr. B Yashovarma, in whose memory we conserve this exquisite arboretum. A renowned botanist and academician, Dr. B Yashovarma now lives with us through the tangible manifestations of his ideals, among which Yashovana is one. A plethora of exquisite flora is conserved here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
