Mapro Gardens placed in the hill station of Panchgani is a beautiful and refreshing location situated close to Mahabaleshwar. It hosts the annual Strawberry Festival, where one may also try fruit flavored shots. The highlights of this festival are fresh farm picked strawberry and miscellaneous forms of chocolates along with cultural folk performances with an edge of tradition such as Shivkalin Dhol and Lezim. Mapro Gardens is a very beautiful location to go with family and friends and hang out while one is listening to music in the slow slumber of dew drops falling around and the smell of fresh grass as if the vast expanse is covered in emerald sheet. One may try various flavors of squashes right from guava, mango, lichi, custard apple, pineapple and many more and quench their appetite. A chocolate factory, a small nursery, a restaurant serving delectable food, children’s play area and retail outlet selling mapro products are famous in garden.
