The Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens want to create a 50 seater outdoor classroom in the existing "Fern Garden"

This project will provide an exciting outdoor classroom in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Utilising the little used "Fern Garden" we want to create a semi-enclosed area for both formal and informal groups. When not being used for educational purposes it will be available as a small multi use performance area.

We know this is really needed as around 5000 pupils/students visit the Gardens each year as part of their Environmental Studies. Part of their study time is in the Hopkirk Building and the remainder in the open air of the Gardens - an outdoor classroom will provide a perfect venue for outdoor learning.

This will be of benefit to any group wishing a quieter area, but still outdoors, with a presentation area . Funding is being sought to improve access to the garden/classroom, create a circular pathway suitable for disability access, provide seating for approx 50 using reclaimed stone and recycled plastic “wood” seating, a central podium area suitable for lecturers/performance groups, replanting of the area with appropriate fern and woodland plant collections and new entrance gates.

We are seeking funds to enable the delivery of the project by the end of 2016 in time to celebrate the Bicentenary of the establishment of Glasgow Botanic Gardens in May 2017.

If the amount you wish to donate is not listed on this page then please visit the Donate to a park page, choose Park Fund and then type "outdoor classroom" in the Why did you want to support this park/city fund? field. If you would like to support the project by TEXT then simply text "CLAS57 £10" to 70070.

The small print – supporting a project

MyParkScotland provides a safe and easy way to make a donation to support this great project.

To make a donation, click on ‘Support Now’ and select your choice of Gift Level. If you are a UK tax payer, selecting a Level which includes Gift Aid means that we can top up your donation at no extra cost to you. Adding Gift Aid typically means that your online donation of, for example, £10 becomes a park investment of £11.53 (after paying platform and management fees). You need to provide your address to enable us to claim Gift Aid.

Gift Aid is a Government scheme which allows charities to increase the value of donations made to them. Gift Aid makes a huge difference to small charities and local organisations, but if they aren’t registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and HMRC, they can’t claim Gift Aid (and many that could claim Gift Aid don’t because they find the process too complicated). At MyParkScotland, we take care of the claim process on eligible donations, so that the Friends and community groups can concentrate on the great work they do in our parks.

We use PayPal to manage online donations and they charge a small platform fee for handling donations. We work hard to keep our fees as low as possible to make sure that as much of each donation as possible is invested in our parks. For donations without Gift Aid, at least 92% of your donation is invested in parks. MyParkScotland is a not-for-profit registered Scottish charity (No. SC045424) and any fees taken go towards covering essential operating costs.

You can find out more information about Gift Aid and MyParkScotland fees in the main Small Print section.
