Glasgow Botanic Gardens
@OurEnchantedJourney
Wander the greenhouses and feel like you are in a Herbology class from Harry Potter!
Our favourite is the Palm House. If you time it right and come as it's being watered, you will see something special. As the water rains from the ceiling, you will feel like you are in an actual tropical rainforest š“
