Green colour cast

I visited last weekend about a dozen garden squares in London which are not normally open to the general public. Each of the 40 odd pictures I took have a horribly green colour cast, see sample below.
What am I doing wrong (I am taking pictures in my own garden, albeit a much smaller one, and never have this green tint).
All pictures were taken with WB 'cloudy' or 'auto'.
I always shoot 'vivid' (in 'neutral/standard' the colours appears to me washed out).
Your comments/advice would be appreciated.

The greens look normal for shooting in Vivid. The faces, buildings & patch of soil look ok. No green color cast there or in the sky. Did the tree trunks have moss on them?

Welcome to UHH. I don't see a problem and my screen is calibrated. Maybe someone else can see something I don't. Good luck.

It looks fine on my calibrated monitor. Try detaching and re-attaching your video cable to the monitor and computer.

Your picture looks fine on my monitor. Check the green adjustment on your screen/monitor. At least you now know your pictures are OK ...., it's something else causing the green glow.

maybe its an illusion.
On my monitor the whites seem white but everything else has a strong green cast.

Looks fine on my monitor. Have you tried printing this picture? If the whites are good in the print, as SonyA580 said, you may need to calibrate your monitor.

I don't see an issue with Green, there may not be enough blue as indicated by the histagram. You could boost the blues, or reduce the yellows

Don't see a problem. I've always shot scenes with a lot of green in them at -2/3 EV

Do i sense a trend here?

At times, when shooting a great deal of greenery, there is a great deal of reflected light. This shows up as a tint in the image and is normal. It can easily be adjusted - as with the tint slider in LightRoom.
This is also common when photographing snow where the blue sky is reflected and a cool cast can result. In this case, you would simply move the color temp slider to make it a little warmer.
