A popular Glasgow garden has officially opened.
The Greyfriars Biophilic Community Garden, on the city's High Street. is now open to visitors.
It features a strikingly vibrant collection of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables in 56 raised beds and was created through a partnership between Glasgow City Council and local community groups from the Merchant City, High Street, Drygate and Trongate.
The new growing space, located between the St Mungo mural and the Barony Hall, has transformed an underutilized open space into a community asset.
It is managed by a committee of local people and offers food-growing opportunities to local residents.
Councillor Eva Bolander, Chair of the High Street Reference Group, said: “The Greyfriars Biophilic Community Garden is a fantastic asset for the people of High Street and the surrounding areas.
"The partnership between local community groups and the council has delivered a space that brings health, social and economic benefits to a range of people in this part of the city, and we can all look forward to the garden continuing to bloom in the future.”
