Welcome

We are a gardening community in High Street, the historic medieval spine of Glasgow. All of our 56 members have a love of nature and growing and we enjoy the social interaction the garden makes possible

Biophilia is the term coined by the Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson to describe what he saw as humanity's "innate tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes," and to be drawn toward nature, to feel an affinity for it, a love, a craving.—Natalie Angier

Do human beings have within them an innate sense of connection to other forms of life? If so, can this natural feeling, this "biophilia," both enhance our respect for ourselves as human and reinforce our sense of obligation to treat other forms of life with loving care?—T. H. Watkins
