How Our Garden Grows!

The garden was first planted in 2004. And we have celebrated various birthdays!

Over the past five years the garden has gradually developed and changed… We have added a wildlife garden, and made and planted up the long bed as you enter.

We had put in the lovely willow tunnel and den…

It’s gradually turned into one of the well known Glasgow landmarks which is used by loads of people, and is open to anyone to visit.

Gardens are not made by singing “Oh, how beautiful and sitting in the shade.”

About the Garden

The Children's Garden is a great place for children, friends and families. It's where you can play with your friends, plant seeds, water, on games and cool outdoor stuff. We also harvest, cook or sell some of the food that grows here.

But it's also a place for the whole community to share - parents, grandparents and volunteers all help to make this work.

It's also a space which schools and organisations working with children can use for a whole range of uses.

Our aims are to promote good healthy food, healthy outdoor exercise, friendship, arts and music, and to support schools (but not necessarily all at the same time!) After five years we've done some of that, but there's plenty of scope to develop this remarkable project further!
