Clydeside Garden is a brownfield-inspired open-access public garden created with Mary Redmond on ‘meanwhile’ land at Glasgow Harbour.

The stones that form the infrastructure of the garden space are the original quay stones from the Anchor Line harbour and Meadowside Shipyard that once operated from this site on the River Clyde.

Our planting is inspired by the flora and fauna found in the brownfield site where these shipyards used to be, where you will find wild red clover, broom, buddleja, tansy and aster growing and hear the birdsong of willow warblers, whitethroat, greenfinches, bullfinches and dunnocks.

The artworks for the hoardings alongside the garden were made by the P4&5 classes from Thornwood Primary working with artists Lynsey Wells & Jenny Olley.
