Description: Greenbank Garden is a tranquil celebration of the gardener’s art. Set immaculately in the grounds of a Grade-A listed Georgian House, Greenbank provides ample inspiration for gardeners, whilst a wander through the soaring beeches and chattering waters of the woodland walk will relax and refresh the spirit. You can also simply relax in the garden and let the sights, sounds, fragrances and atmosphere of this beautiful urban oasis work its unique magic.
Stroll through the garden and find ideas, techniques and inspiration for your own garden. You’ll discover a constantly evolving kaleidoscope of creativity from mini-orchards through explosions of snows to experiments in biodiversity. Greenbank has something to delight gardeners throughout the seasons.
Exploring Greenbank House, you’ll get a remarkable glimpse into the life of Robert Allason and his family. Allason was an 18th-century tobacco lord when Glasgow was the second city of the British Empire and the house has remained virtually unchanged.
