Glasgow possesses an impressive portfolio of about 100 parks containing many thousands of trees, both conifers and hardwoods, both native and introduced. Many are of considerable interest, particularly owing to their rarity in this country. Some are even uncommon in their native habitat. Owing to the diversity of trees found here the city has been described as a “super arboretum”. This talk by Bob Gray of the Glasgow Tree Lovers’ Society aims to describe some of these trees, their location, their appearance and what makes them special.
This event will take place at Hyndland Secondary School, Clarence Drive, Glasgow, G12 9RQ. Children must be over 8 years old and accompanied by an adult. The venue has disabled access. No dogs please except assistance dogs.
