A formally laid out rose garden in Springburn Park. Sadly there are few roses in it - probably due to all the cuts in the City of Glasgow's Land Services Department. There are now very few trained gardeners working for the council and most of the staff spend their time cutting grass and picking litter.

Built in 1899-1900, the Category A listed Winter Gardens has been derelict since the 1980s. In the last few years the Council's Land and Environment Services department has cleared vegetation which was taking over the building [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3259493] and erected a new fence around the site. The Springburn Winter Gardens Trust are hoping to restore the structure.

The shell of the iconic Winter Gardens, built 1899-1900. It has been derelict since the 1980s. In the last few years the Council's Land and Environment Services department erected a fence around the site and cleared vegetation which was taking over the building. Unfortunately this vegetation is taking hold again and is likely to be damaging the structure of the Category A listed https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33298 building. The Springburn Winter Gardens Trust are hoping to restore the structure. The building is in the Buildings at Risk Register https://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/890922.
