Description:
Situated behind the main SWG3 warehouse, it’s a surprise to walk up the steps leading to this space and be delighted by the sight of trees, grasses, shrubs and perennials making a beautiful garden where there was only derelict land between two railway lines. The garden has wide paths curving through the beds and the various indigenous trees subtly define the shape of the garden. Apart from the interesting planting, this garden, designed by the horticulturist and garden designer Jeremy Needham, has beehives and two different heights of raised beds which are used by the local community as allotments. To celebrate Glasgow SGS 2025 Year of Children in The Garden there will be lots of children's events.
Directions:
Please put the whole address into your SatNav to find the garden easily. The nearest station to SWG3 in Glasgow is Kelvinhall SPT Subway Station, Partick, which is a 14 minute walk away. Free parking is available on Eastvale Place and Kelvinhaugh Street on Saturdays and Sundays.
Other details:
Teas are included in the price. Children's activities include: a painting activity; plant propagation; seed sowing into small pots to take home. The plant sale will include a stand for herbaceous perennials and grasses, particularly those in the garden and a stand selling vegetable and salad plugs in the allotment area of the garden.
