People responded positively to the more biodiverse or nature friendly squares. The paving slab and plastic grass were associated with boredom, sadness and anger. It was heart warming to see the prose, poetry and drawings that people produced - “I smel bees” had to be my favourite

The Hort-Ecologists designed an observational and mindful activity called “Moments in Nature”. Visitors to the garden were invited to use their senses to explore squares representing different garden types: a flowery meadow, long grass, a neat lawn, a paving slab & plastic grass

We took a participatory approach, working with garden volunteers - ‘Hort-Ecologists’ to share knowledge and collaboratively develop an activity around a research question of their choice. Everyone brought something to the table and our 4 workshops brimmed with ideas.

The Hidden Gardens is a sanctuary green space in the heart of Glasgow Southside. An oasis of nature grown from a derelict tram shed it serves one of the most diverse neighbourhoods in Scotland by tackling social isolation and the challenges faced by more deprived communities.
