Magalla Hills National Park in Islamabad is known for its fine collection of indigenous trees, hence Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) proposed to convert it into a small Botanical Garden where it would add to educational activities for the visitors and therefore become a center for education on the trees of Margalla Hills.

Generally, botanical gardens are often run by universities or other scientific research organizations, and have associated herbaria and research programs in plant taxonomy or some other aspect of botanical science. In principle, their role is to maintain documented collections of living plants for the purposes of scientific research, conservation, display, and education.
