Village Voice Trip to the Hidden Gardens at Tramway, Glasgow

The Village Voice group made a visit to the Hidden Gardens at the Tramway in Glasgow, where Artist in Residence, Rachel Mimiec, gave a talk about her work and her residency at the Hidden Gardens over the last two years and then gave a tour round this unique and very beautiful place. We had a look inside Rachel's "Shedio" (part B & Q Shed, part studio) which she has customised to make a warm, comfortable yet compact and bijou workspace tucked away in a quiet part of the garden.

The gardens contain many interesting plants, trees (see the Ginko Biloba pictured) and raised beds containing herbs. There are also various artworks in the form of carved poetry rocks by Jerry Loose, inverted heels by Steve Skrynka and the Xylotech by Alex Finlay, son of Ian Hamilton Finlay. The Hidden Gardens are constantly evolving, changing with every season and its a place well worth a visit any time of the year.
