Glasgow Botanic Gardens
Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a place of beauty, tranquillity and contemplation. As a botanic garden however, we are also much more. We aim to demonstrate to all our visitors that the plants on display here are the air we breathe, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the medicine we take. Through education, interpretation and the enormous diversity of our plant collections we hope to inspire in visitors a desire to know more.
Glasgow Botanic Gardens has seasonal annuals, bulbs, and trees in outdoor gardens, and orchids, cacti, succulents, carnivorous plants, ferns and many tropical plants in two glasshouses, the Main Range and the Kibble Palace. In the Kibble Palace, you can see many tree ferns (the living fossils) which are the national collections.
You will learn the diversity of plants at the gardens.
