Visitors can take a stroll around the garden or relax by the soothing water feature.</p> <p>Greenbank was built for Robert Allason in the 1760s - he made his money as a tobacco merchant and slave trader in the days when Glasgow was the second city of the British Empire. The walled garden was built at the same time as the house, and both are surrounded by tall swaying beeches. After the American Wars of Independence Allason went bankrupt and lost the house and estate.<br /><br />For gardening inspiration, Greenbank Garden is unbeatable. Today, the large garden aims to inspire visitors to grow a wide array of plants in their own gardens.</p> <p><span>Booking not required</span></p> Est. 1760s, ornamental planting began in the garden in the 1840s Museum 2519 current,55.86362,-4.261207; Flenders Road Glasgow 16406 Yes Clarkston 15/9/2018 16/9/2018 Sat-Sun 2-4pm Yes Yes No Yes No No No No No No G76 8RB
