Mark the start of the growing season!

Join a relaxed gathering to wake the seeds and prepare for the year ahead:

Spend time together to:

  • sort, pack and browse new seed varieties in the library

  • help to germination test seeds saved in our last growing season

  • be creative by drawing seeds with the help of hand lenses, and designing artwork for future seed packets

  • browse our collection of books and pamphlets around seed ecologies, gardening, herbalism, permaculture, food sovereignty and land justice

  • a chance to explore the beautiful surrounds of The Hidden Gardens

All are welcome to stop by, for a few minutes or a few hours. The library will be open for anyone to browse and select seeds, and it’s a good opportunity to discuss your 2025 growing plans with seed librarians Rowan and Meg.

We will have hot drinks, a vegan hot soup and light refreshments available. Let us know you’re coming, and if you have any dietary restrictions by emailing glasgowseedlibrary@cca-glasgow.com.

Accessibility

The Gardens are fully wheelchair accessible at both entrances from Pollokshaws Road and through Tramway. There are wide stone paths around The Gardens, and ramps to take you into the Medicinal Courtyard and Boilerhouse.
