About This Event

Garrioch Gardens, nestled in Glasgow's vibrant West End, will be opening its gates to the public as part of the esteemed Scotland's Gardens Scheme on Sunday, 16 August 2026. This charming and traditional early 20th-century back court space, a testament to community spirit, underwent a significant transformation in 1977. The redesign masterfully converted it into a welcoming communal area, fostering a sense of shared ownership and enjoyment. Visitors can expect to discover a thoughtfully laid out space featuring a central lane, providing a pleasant pathway through the greenery. Adjacent drying greens offer a glimpse into the area's heritage, while meticulously maintained planted beds burst with colour and life. The distinctive cordoned fruit trees add a touch of horticultural artistry. The ongoing upkeep of these delightful gardens is a collective effort by the residents, who are committed to enhancing biodiversity and creating a thriving urban oasis.
