    Short Story of this garden

    The garden was established during 1863 – 1868 by British planter with an excellent quality of chinaries seed stock by random assortment. The present garden is a combination of two tea estates namely Sungma & Turzum. The original name stands as “Sanga – Maru” taken from Tibetan dialect meaning a place where mushroom grows wildly and abundantly. Likewise Turzum derived from “Taru – Zum” meaning a place of weekly village market. The present phonetics seems to be misnomer given by British planter.In 1934 the massive earthquake demolished the Sungma factory and at later stage both the gardens were merged and entire manufacturing started in Turzum tea estate. In late 50s the garden was taken over by Jhunjhunwala and mid 70s changed hand to Jindals. In 1993 The Jayshree Tea & Industries Ltd. took over this property and has been running successfully till date.
