Recent highlights have in- cluded the multimillion pound restoration of the Kibble Palace (2003-06), and also the completion of the restoration of the Main Range (2004), the restoration of the Long Pit (2011) and Pit 1 (2013), and the open- ing of the ‘Tea Room at the Botanics’ in 2012. The Kelvin Walkway, from Garrioch Drive to Belmont Street, is also contained within the Gardens’ foot- print. This provides an opportunity to give more attention to the day-to-day maintenance of these areas and provide visitors with extended walking routes and enhanced interpretation and labelling. In 2015 Land and Environmental Services will significantly improve plant labelling in all areas of the grounds in the main Gardens area. Improvements will also progress in underutilised or overgrown areas including the Rosaceae bed and the monocot border. Throughout the history of the Gardens – which dates back to 1817 – the emphasis has been on the plant collections and their use in education and, to a lesser extent, research.

Established in 1991, it has grown from a grass-roots group with no funding and completely reliant on volunteers into a highly respected organisation employing 17 members of staff, supporting 80 volunteers, running several innovative learning and cultural projects, and boasting a unique collection of museum artefacts, archive materials and library resources. GWL is accessed by a broad range of people. While its collections of materials are open to all, with a range of public events, some dedicated learning projects are targeted specifically at women, and in particular those who are the most disadvantaged and marginalised in society. Consequently, there is no typical GWL user: PhD students, academics, researchers, homeless women, those living with or overcoming addictions, women surviving domestic abuse or in the criminal justice system all access GWL, are all equally welcome and all feel the same sense of ownership and belonging in the organisation.

  • JUST 1 HOUR UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW GARDENERS GROUP JUST 1 HOUR Welcome to Our Guide, JUST 1 HOUR
    JUST 1 HOUR UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW GARDENERS GROUP JUST 1 HOUR Welcome to our guide, JUST 1 HOUR. The idea behind this guide came from the University of Glasgow Gardeners group, a small community of staff who come together to share an interest in gardening, nature and the environment. Feedback from the group identified that staff appreciate the opportunity to meet others from different teams that they would not normally get a chance to meet. This has enabled new friendships to develop and bloom. This guide hopes to build on the connections made, sharing the ethos and community of the University of Glasgow Gardeners group by providing ideas and suggestions for things to do, once a week on your lunch break. It is ‘just 1 hour’ a week, we believe that it is really important for staff to take some time, away from desks, to connect with each other, the community and nature. THIS BOOKLET IS SPLIT INTO 3 SECTIONS: INTRODUCTION THINGS TO DO FINAL THOUGHTS THIS PROVIDES MORE DETAIL A SELECTION OF 52 THINGS REFLECTIONS ON THIS ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF TO DO ON YOUR LUNCH BOOKLET AND HOW YOU GLASGOW GARDENERS BREAK AT LITTLE OR NO CAN TAKE PART.

AS THE UNIVERSITY’S MENTAL HEALTH CHAMPION, I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME THIS SHORT GUIDE, PRODUCED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW GARDENERS GROUP. THE GUIDE CONTAINS SOME EXCELLENT IDEAS FOR THINGS TO DO AT LUNCHTIME WHILE WORKING ON THE GILMOREHILL CAMPUS. ALL OF US SHOULD TAKE ON BOARD THE ADVICE TO PACE OUR WORK AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST ON OR CLOSE TO CAMPUS; AND I HOPE THAT FURTHER GUIDES FOR COLLEAGUES AT GARSCUBE AND DUMFRIES WILL FOLLOW IN DUE COURSE.

The Digest describes structures and resources alongside activities and outcomes. It covers the principal domains within the cultural system, and cross-cuts and contextual information are provided on markets, attendance, training and resources. The institutions and organisations which constitute Glasgow’s cultural system are listed in the Appendix to this document. The Digest has been assembled mainly by drawing together existing quantitative material and presenting this in consistent and relevant ways. A number of new analyses of existing data have also been obtained. The contents are in the form of some 169 tables, grouped in 14 sections. A technical appendix is available on request. As necessary, and where possible, the data have been subject to an appropriate level of validation and cross-check to ensure consistency and comparability. The aim is to enable consistent read- across amongst the various tables.
