Greyfriars Biophilic Garden
When you step into our beautiful garden, you will be transported from the hustle and bustle of the city into a nature wonderland. You will be amazed at the variety of vegetables and flowers that are grown in small raised beds and you will be delighted by the friendly welcome. When you walk through our garden, your spirit will be uplifted. When you visit, you will be wowed. You will discover the power of nature to make you feel happy. You will see how we have recycled pallets and other materials to create our mushroom farm, storage and benches. You can rest and relax and enjoy tea/coffee and home baking at very modest prices. We are a registered not-for-profit Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, (SCO50973), run by a Board of Trustees. We are accountable to our members. We have 56 raised beds which are rented annually to our members who live or work in our catchment area. Our members pay £15 a year.

EXIT is a fully operating DIY, independent and artist run club and arts space which was opened in September 2023. The building on Maxwell St was once home to Fury Murry’s in the late 80s and 90s, and then repurposed into a strip club. The space has a lot of character, with the majority of the strip club interiors remaining largely intact. EXIT has a strong DIY ethos, platforming and growing the local scene and creative community here in Glasgow.
