Information: An award winning public greenspace & community development which has been developed at the back of the Tramway Theatre in Pollokshields. The concept underpinning the Gardens was the creation of a space within the city that would link many cultures and celebrate the diversity of the city's population. These principles were embedded in the design and usage of the space through community consultation and creative development process involving NVA, landscape architects, a team of artists and the local community. Today, the Gardens are a vital community resource alongside being a unique and visionary space for peace, reflection and appreciation of nature - nestled within the urban landscape.
Comments: Audio guides to the Gardens, Garden Assistants on duty and a plant sale all weekend. Steward on duty.
Disabled access: A very few inclines and steps within the gardens. There are paths all around the gardens - some more accessible for wheelchair users than others. Assisted access.
