Through the high-tech nursery, tulip bulbs, along with other plants, are gradually being preserved. This storage room can be adapted to winter temperatures and can also simulate winter conditions during the summer. 

Notably, a storage room for preserving tulip bulbs was constructed in Lodhi Garden in 2023, where used tulip bulbs were prepared for reuse. The NDMC has had great success with this endeavour.
