About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Elsewhere Garden

Listed Under Gardening Events / Charity and Fundraiser Events / Family and Kids Events / Outdoor Events

Tucked in a hidden nook of the grounds of Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children, the Elsewhere Garden has transformed what was once a purposeless grassed landscape into a playful refuge for patients and staff. The garden was commissioned by Teapot Trust, a charity bringing play and art therapy to chronically sick children. It was designed by Semple Begg, who chose a palette of plants to inspire creativity and imagination, for which they won a gold medal at RHS Chelsea in 2023. The planting was adapted for the Glasgow location, and further enhanced by a donation of plants from Dior’s Drummond Castle fashion show in June 2024. In the garden you’ll meet an array of colourful perennials, and the characterful Picea abies ‘Inversa’. The wide, snaking paths will take you by shady beds of ferns, sun-loving salvias, whimsical grasses, and candy-coloured blooms. Pause at one of the many seating spots and let your imagination roam – what do the plant forms conjure up for you?
Directions: Follow the signs to QEUH G51 4TF and the SGS yellow signs.

Other details: There will be children's activities at this garden.
