The city of Glasgow was, quite literally, built on its geology – it may even have been named after one of its rocky features. The geological history of the Glasgow area can be read in the rocks and sediments exposed within the city, from the streams to the buildings and bridges. In 2013 the British Geological Survey Quarrying and building stone conducted a Geodiversity Audit of Sandstones in the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in the Glasgow the City of Glasgow for Glasgow City area were commonly quarried for Council to identify and describe the building stone.

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.
