Abstract: Garling sequence spaces admit a renorming with respect to which their standard unit vector basis is 1-greedy. We also discuss some additional properties of these Banach spaces related to uniform convexity and superreflexivity. In particular, our approach to the study of the superreflexivity of Garling sequence space provides an example of how essentially non-linear tools from greedy approximation can be used to shed light into the linear structure of the spaces.
