New Victoria Gardens Open day

Glasgow’s historic allotment scheme (established 1871) invites the public inside its walled gardens just one day a year and this is it! Your chance to tour round 64 individual plots tucked away in a cul de sac in East Pollokshields.

Prize-winning fruit, veg and flowers on exhibit in the hall (most sold at bargain prices at the end of the day) and a separate tent selling houseplants, perennials, cut flowers and produce – with friendly advice from the people who grew them.

Also a legendary tea room with delicious homebaking, barbecue with veggie options, a range of stalls including crafts, bric-a-brac, honey & jam, tombola - plus lots of fun activities for kids.
