Temporary access changes

9 - 13 March

Essential tarmac works will be taking place across the Garden from 9 - 13 March. Several paths will be closed at different times, and this will affect the routes available to reach the Terrace Café from both the East Gate and the John Hope Gateway.

Visitors will still be able to access the Café, but only via a limited number of open paths. Please follow on‑site signage and staff guidance during your visit.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused while this essential work is carried out and thank you for your patience.

Restoration project

The Garden’s landmark restoration and development project is creating Glasshouses for the future. This essential work will help protect our globally important Living Collection of plants for future generations.

During this period:

• Palm Houses and Front Range Glasshouses: closed to the public while restoration continues.

• Queen Mother’s Memorial Garden and Alpine Area: open with restricted access, available to visitors on Saturdays and Sundays (weather dependent).

We appreciate your understanding as we carry out this vital work.
