Glasgow Botanic Gardens

Located in the West End of Glasgow and managed by Glasgow City Council, the Botanic Gardens is arguably the finest garden in Glasgow and known worldwide for our beautifully restored Kibble Palace.

We are proud that our Botanic Gardens are free and open to the public for all to enjoy.

Glasgow Botanic Gardens holds a documented collection of plants for the purpose of conservation, education, research and display. The Gardens’ commitment to exhibiting specimens from around the world since its inception has resulted in the development of a diverse and fascinating collection.

You can also take the 10-day course for the RBGE Certificate in Practical Horticulture at Glasgow Botanic Gardens that will give you the fundamental practical skills of a horticulturist.

The Gardens are open 7am to dusk all year. The glasshouses are open 10am – 6pm (4.15pm in winter).
