Help us save the Children's Garden from a Council Takeover 


Glasgow City Council have just written to us demanding that by the end of April only 4 days away: we chop down our willow tunnel. That we remove all fruit trees (despite them just coming into blossom) That Land Services are going to take over two of our lovely raised beds - despite us having paid for them and all the plants in them. 


 Please contact your councillor, MSP, newspaper, and anyone else you can think of - and please please - sign this petition, and get your friends to sign it. And please come up to the garden this weekend to show your support. 


Now after ten years of hard work by many volunteers and of course, children, the council wish to take it away from us. We want your help to continue developing for the next ten years. Please help us. [email protected]

What are the council thinking?! People made this, not them. They have no right to bully their way in to a perfectly peaceful community project.

Absolute madness. This place is the heart of the neighbourhood and the kids love it. Leave it alone!

The council have no idea what they are doing. This is disgraceful behavior towards volunteers who actually care about the area.

LEAVE THE TREES ALONE. The council just wants to pave everything over for no reason. Not on my watch.

Used to take my kids there all the time. Such a shame they try to ruin the good things people build.

My wee ones spend so much time here. Why destroy something that brings people together? Ridiculous.
