Working hard today with @viewparkgtrust.

Hardly working when this wee dude is around. His name is Tigger & he lives next to the gardens. Always pops in to say hello, today he climbed on me and sat on my back for ages. 😭💗 #gardenmascot

Today is the last day you can email NLC to let them know you are in favour of our asset transfer request. Email [email protected] with your name, address & a few lines on why you support our mission.

Some images of what the gardens COULD look like again 👇🏻👇🏻

We’re more devastated than anyone to see the decline of the gardens. We’re asking for your memories and pictures from visiting the gardens over the years!

You can see in the Facebook post we are looking to get in ASAP. As discussed with councillors yesterday we found out this would be possible. However we wouldn’t be able to allow volunteers or the public in till we have the insurance.

Thank you once again.

Our team met with local councillors Bob Burrows, Norah Mooney & Jordan Linden from Bellshill ward at the gardens yesterday. To discuss our application & plans moving forward. 👏🏻👏🏻

Not all good news though - as we were absolutely devastated to see what has happened to our beloved gardens.

We ask for all your support at this time, the gardens are too important for us to lose. Please share our posts and follow us on Facebook.

Some staggering side by side images of the deterioration of the plants within the glasshouses.
These images are from October 2019- February 2020.
This is clear neglect by NLC - the plants are now beyond saving.

[Viewpark Gardens Trust @viewparkgtrust]

We discuss our name change, our plans moving forward & what we’ve been doing.

Thank you @ThorniewoodCC for having us along today. Some fantastic discussions and information shared around our mission to save the Viewpark Gardens.

[Steven Bonnar @StevenBonnarSNP]

Was delighted to spend the morning with many from the local area determined to ask @nlcpeople to think again on its budget choice and save the gardens. Well done to all in attendance #saveviewparkgardens

[Viewpark Gardens Trust @viewparkgtrust]

Thank you for attending. We hope @nlcpeople will change their mind. About 90-100 people today alone have walked through the gates of the garden. The gardens deserve to remain open. They are loved by all in the community.
