NGS Thinks...
June 2018 - Guest editorial: Friends of Victoria Park
For this month's 'NGS Thinks...' we're handing over to Cathie Russell of Friends of Victoria Park, who has been in touch with the worrying news that Glasgow City Council intends to grass over key original, 130-year-old flower beds. Given the current neglect of the historic (and unique and tourist-worthy) Fossil Grove, it's concerning that other parts of this much-loved park are threatened. Please consider supporting their cause at their demonstration at 2pm on Sunday 24th June. In the meantime, over to Cathie:
The Friends of Victoria Park are campaigning against Glasgow City Council’s plans to grass over 28 of the main flower beds in the formal gardens at the end of this season ‘unless volunteers take them on'. The beds which are to go form part of a landscape that is listed by Historic Environments Scotland, one of very few in the city with this recognition.
