Description: Opening alongside the SGS in spring for the first time, come and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of this garden sanctuary which rarely opens to the public! Carefully created by acclaimed garden designer and RHS judge, James Alexander-Sinclair, Horatio’s Garden Scotland was created in 2016 and nurtures the wellbeing of people affected by spinal injury from across the whole of Scotland, their loved ones and NHS staff. Horatio’s Garden Scotland features a half-acre woodland garden awash with striking seasonal blooms and framed by a beautiful collection of Betula pendula trees, as well as artfully-planted borders, vibrant courtyard garden, gorgeous garden room, fragrant glasshouse and much more. There’s plenty to explore in this thoughtful, therapeutic garden which is, unusually, nestled right in the heart of a Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS hospital.

Directions: First Bus: 8,16,77, Stagecoach: X19, McGills: 17,21,23/23A/23B. If arriving by car, please allow extra time for parking, as it is a very large campus. Follow directions to 1345 Govan Road, Glasgow G51 4TF and then hospital signs to Car Park 2 (multi storey) or Car Park 3 which is closer but a smaller open car park. Both are visitor parking, and free but there is a four hour maximum stay. There are large signs on campus that will direct you from the car parks, or use Google maps to navigate towards 32 Langlands Drive G51 4LS. The Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit is no. 4 on this map nhsggc.org.uk/media/238440/qeuh_rhc_campus_map_travel_info.pdf. From there, follow signs to the garden entrance.

Other details: The garden is fully accessible, refreshments will be available and there will be plants and crafts for sale. Children's play area.
