Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a lush botanical oasis located in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland. With its stunning glasshouses, including the iconic Kibble Palace, the park boasts a diverse collection of temperate and tropical flora. Visitors can explore a herb garden, a chronological bed showcasing plants introduced to Scotland over the years, and the UK's national collection of tree ferns. The Gardens also feature a world rose garden, officially opened in 2003 by Princess Tomohito of Mikasa. The picturesque River Kelvin runs alongside the park, offering a serene walking route through Kelvingrove Park. Awarded a Green Flag in 2011, Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts alike.
