Glasgow Botanic Gardens (Glasgow)
Glasgow Gardens constitute botanic gardens and a historic park in Glasgow.
The main entrance is in Great Western Road.
The prime mover in creating the botanic gardens was Professor William J. Hooker. After the gardens` establishment, he moved to become first director of Kew Gardens in 1841.
The Kibble Palace is an enormous greenhouse. Originally a private conservatory at Coulport on Loch Long, it was moved here in 1873 and used at first as a concert hall and meeting place, where both Gladstone and Disraeli gave addresses.
There are also tropical houses, a herb garden, an arboretum and a rose garden.
