## Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens ## Report from Chair to AGM 9[th] September 2024 The past year has been a busy and productive one for the Friends’ committee. After last years AGM several office bearers found themselves new to the job; our Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. I myself had a big learning curve to climb particularly getting to grips with the regulatory requirements of even a small charity like ours. My thanks are due to a hardworking and active committee, cooperation from the Gardens staff and a loyal membership base. A number of organisational projects were completed. Our membership data base was transferred to the more secure system Membershipmojo. This should allow easier and more secure communication with our members especially those with email addresses. It also allows the option for new members to join online and for our excellent monthly newsletter to be delivered electronically. Inevitably there have been one or two teething problems. Thanks are due to our Secretary and committee member If you have been experiencing problems please speak to our Secretary after the meeting. All our documents are now stored on Google Workspace Portal and Gmail is used for official communications. A data protection policy has been agreed by the committee. Members will no doubt remember a survey carried out post lockdown by last year’s committee. Members wished to receive more news about the activities in the Gardens and some smaller meetings of local and practical interest as well as our more established pattern of larger meetings with invited speakers. The committee has tried to serve these wishes, details of which follow. One of my first duties as Chair was to help host the visit of last September. is the Scientific Director at Kew BG as well as holding a Chair at the University of Oxford and Gothenburg. We spent an enjoyable morning touring GBG led by . commented on the high standard of our collections and marvelled at what the Gardens achieve with a fraction of the number of staff compared to Kew. In the evening he addressed a joint meeting of The Friends of GBG, Glasgow Natural History Society and Glasgow Tree Lovers Society in Boyd Orr Building at Glasgow University on the subject of the Global Climate Emergency. Later in the autumn we held a meeting in the same format and were addressed by from The Woodland Trust. We heard about the history of the organisation, its work restoring ancient woodlands and the Atlantic rainforests of Scotland. At a more local level in February we held a very practical demonstration of composting at the Kelvindale Growers’ Gardens. This was very successful and gave those members who attended a good deal of inspiration and practical ideas. We enjoyed hearing a brief history of the site and the Growers which came about during lockdown. Thanks go to and to our committee member, . For a warmer activity in the afternoon we moved to the south wing of the Kibble where we marked St Valentine’s Day with an exhibition ‘I Love the Botanics’. Amongst other things there was an exhibition of dried fallen leaves from the previous autumn. The Turkey oak which sadly blew over in a Christmas storm was formally aged at over 180 years. The meeting was advertised by banner to the public on the railings at the main entrance and attracted a good number of participants, many of them young adults. Thanks to for organising this event which we hope to repeat. As spring advanced our orchid propagator led two parties of Friends through the Orchid collections and recounted some tales of her recent visit to Crete on an RHS sponsored and organised study trip. Our public tours of the Gardens have taken place almost every week since summer of 2023.ln high season the garden guides lead three to four tours each week. In addition to public tours, we have regular requests for private tours from Scottish University parties and have run separate tours for two Universities from USA. Horticultural societies, U3A groups and charities large and small have all enjoyed trips. Over the winter months we have been taking parties round the Kibble. The Friends and the garden guides are very grateful for the support and teaching we have received from staff in the Gardens and￿ in particular. Our members should look on these tours as an opportunity to engage more with our wonderful Gardens. They are organised for the enjoyment and education of our members as much as the public. If after enjoying a tour or two you feel you would like to become a garden guide, we will welcome you. Please get in touch with me. Training and encouragement will be provided. We have about ten active and experienced guides at present with several due to complete their training shortly. We do not charge for the tours but encourage donations for the work of The Friends. The committee feel that the increase in donations at our Tap and Donate machine is due at least in part to the generosity of those attending our tours. Our Treasurer can provide more details. In June the Gardens were once again one of the major sites for Glasgow University Science Festival. Many school parknes toured the Kibble with their teachers during the two weeks of the festival. Over the two weekends The Friends ran a very popular stand where children and their parents got the chance to pot soft tip cuttings and pot up bedding begonias in small pots. There was an opportunity to talk to the families about the Gardens and the work of The Friends. Perhaps we will get a few new members? Our guides led additional tours over these weekends. Thanks are due to those who volunteered on the stand namely committee members, guides and members of Friends who responded to our request for help. Please consider giving up a few hours next year to engage with eager inquisitive children and their parents. Several committee members contributed to the assessment day which resulted in the renewal of The Green Flag Award. On a more formal level but just as much fun the Certificate in Practical Horticulture Course run by The Friends has had another very good year. Brian and I recently attended the graduation of the first group which finished in the summer and the second group is well under way with the course at full capacity and￿ with her two members of staff working hard. All graduates are offered complimentary membership of The Friends for a year following the course. An encouraging number go on to become hands-on volunteers in the Gardens and several join the garden guides. Your committee thinks and discusses long and hard before spending your funds. I list some of the improvements and services we have purchased or provided. These are not listed in any particular order and without costs as our Treasurer will be EivinE her report shortly. A landscape photographer is currently collecting a portfolio of the Gardens during each season of the year. This will be used for publicity and display. Purchase of plants for the Orchid collection, plants for the renovated pond and House 10 A grant was made to our orchid propagator to help with costs incurred while with the RHS trip to Crete to study terrestrial orchids. Two legacies were used to contribute to the rebuilding of the melon house in the service area and the renovation of the pond. We have funded a conservation study of the flint mill on our estate by the River Kelvin. This survey allows the restoration of the site to go ahead using money from third parties. We are grateful for the new noticeboard provided by Dowanhill,Hyndland and Kelvinside Community Council. Work carried out by our Curator and committee member has resulted in more accurate mapping of our collections. This has led among other benefits to improved botanical labelling and information signage throughout the Gardens. The garden guides have related this information to What3Words location app. We have maintained the automatic defibrillator situated on the wall of the public toilets. The doner organisation no longer exists. We meet the costs of supeniision of our garden volunteers as they maintain several areas of the Gardens. As well as occasional financial legacies we were delighted when ￿ donated her late husband's library to the Friends. Many present tonight will remember asa longstanding Curator in the Gardens. The collection has now been curated and sits in the library. ' two publications Glasgov/s Botsnic Gardens and Kibble's Palace have been a source of information and inspiration to our garden guides and many others. Friends of GBG is represented on The Forum of Friends of Glasgow Parks and Green Spaces, the bid for National City Park status for Glasgow. Gallant and Forum of Friends of Botanic Gardens. Looking ahead, the dark clouds are the disruption caused by Glasglow, the prospect of charging entry to the Kibble and the fact that we are still without an Education Officer. Your committee members feel that the committee is now working at its full capacity. We are looking forward to appointing our committee with fully active members. September 2024
