Love the detail on the grave monument for the theatre impresario John Henry Alexander in the Glasgow Necropolis, especially the rather wind-blown foliate green man.

Love this sculpture of a green man carved below an oriel window on Fyfe Chambers on West George Street in Glasgow.

The Green Man on a building on Lancaster Terrace in Glasgow. With roots possibly going back to Celtic cultures of the iron age, and representing spring and rebirth, the Green Man appears on a surprising number of buildings across the city.

Many old buildings in Europe, even churches, have a face made of leaves or vomiting vegetation carved on a wall, often called a "Green Man." There's a lot of debate about how this design began or what its purpose was, but many assume it was originally a pagan god.

Good morning and happy #Wednesday. 😊

A good few years ago, I enrolled on a #pottery course and this is the first thing I made. 😊🌿🌿🌿

Folklore's Green Man has long fascinated me, as a gardener/landscape architect, but also since I read a book connecting him to Santa Claus (??)

This story was my chance to write about the Green Man and coyotes, in a race between invasive and native plants.

Plus coyotes as icons of resilience
