Good afternoon. There are a lot of trees down around @GlasgowBotanic and along the Kelvin Walkway especially near the @GlasgowPenguins. These trees have been reported to @GlasgowCC . Be very careful around fallen trees and watch out for path closures.
Morning, Grounds are now open @GlasgowBotanic and we are clearing paths. Main Range Glasshouses and Tea Rooms will remain closed, the Kibble Palace is open and the tree trail is now slightly shorter.
There will be a short delay to the opening of the grounds and buildings @GlasgowBotanic tomorrow Saturday 25/1/25 until we can assess any damage to trees, glasshouses and structures. Hopefully we will get updates out as soon as possible
Update @GlasgowBotanic . Due to the wind speeds forecast for Friday 24th January, the glasshouses and grounds of Glasgow Botanic Gardens will remain closed on Friday. After a check on buildings, structures and trees the gardens will reopen on Saturday. #StormÉowyn
