The Glasgow Botanic Garden is friendly, just like the city, and there’s an approachability. It has a familial feel. Even in the types of plants they grow. A section with ordinary garden vegetables. An unkempt corner of different wild roses. An entire wing in one of the gorgeous greenhouses dedicated to old fashioned potted plants, like begonias or geraniums, the kinds of flowers my grandma used to have on her porch. Like the enormous backyard of a hospitable older lady with very green fingers. I spent many hours there, sitting on a sunny bench, reading.
