Glasgow Botanic Gardens
The Glasgow Botanic Gardens are located in the West End of Glasgow. The gardens feature several glasshouses, the most notable of which is the Kibble Palace.
The Kibble Palace is a spectacular 19th-century wrought iron-framed glasshouse. It has been in the gardens since 1873 and its main plants have lived there for over 120 years. You can see a wide variety of temperate and tropical fauna, a herb garden, a rose garden and the UK’s collection of tree ferns.
They have a collection of over 9,000 different plants and as well as the Victorian glasshouses they also have over 20 hectares of landscaped ground to explore which are situated alongside the River Kelvin.
