An experimental herbal garden developed by the Central Railway at CSMT seems to have clicked well with 120 different species of medicinal plants and shrubs. The garden is located near platform no. 18 of the rail terminus.
 
“The land near the heritage gully at Mumbai CSMT had been lying vacant and as an attempt to experiment with herbs, we decided to plant herbal saplings and they have now grown very well,” said a senior railway official.

The collection includes herbs like Adusa, Ajwain, Apamarg, Elachi, Pepper, Shatavari and Tulsi that are used to treat cough and cold. Among the other plants in the garden are Anjeer, Turmeric, Insulin, Gudmar and Tej patta that can help control diabetes. The nearly 1-acre garden also has herbs like Bhringraj, Sarpagandha, Giloy and Clove.
