Description: Tucked in a hidden nook of the grounds of Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children, the Elsewhere Garden has transformed what was once a purposeless grassed landscape into a playful refuge for patients and staff. The garden was commissioned by Teapot Trust, a charity bringing play and art therapy to chronically sick children, and designed by Semple Begg, who chose a palette of plants to inspire creativity and imagination, for which they won a gold medal at RHS Chelsea 2023. The planting was adapted for the Glasgow location, where you'll meet an array of candy-coloured blooms, whimsical grasses and ferns, and the two characterful Picea abies ‘Inversa’. On the day, scan a QR code to hear the soundscapes designed for the Chelsea installation, and pause at one of the many seating spots to let your imagination roam.

Directions: Follow the signs to QEUH G51 4TF and the SGS yellow signs.

Other details: There will be children's activities at this garden.
