About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Horatio’s Garden

Carefully created by acclaimed garden designer and RHS Judge, James Alexander-Sinclair, Horatio’s Garden Scotland opened in 2016 and nurtures the wellbeing of people affected by spinal injury from across the whole of Scotland, their loved ones and NHS staff. The gardens provide a peaceful horticultural haven.

Horatio’s Garden Scotland features a half acre woodland garden awash with striking seasonal blooms and framed by a beautiful collection of Betula pendula trees, as well as artfully planted borders, vibrant courtyard garden, gorgeous garden room, fragrant glasshouse and much more. There’s plenty to explore in this thoughtful, therapeutic garden; one which rarely opens to the public and is unusually nestled right in the heart of a Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS hospital.

Directions: From the east or west of the city: on the M8 motorway to Junction 25, follow signs for the Clyde Tunnel (A739) for ¾ mile, then follow signs for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Turn left into Govan Road and the hospital is on the left. From north of the River Clyde: go through the Clyde Tunnel (A739) and follow signs for the hospital. Please look at our website for the hospital estate map for directions to the garden and available parking.

Other details: Children's play area.
