Greenbank Garden is a true gem nestled in the heart of Glasgow's Southside. This 18th-century walled garden is a serene oasis that provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The garden is beautifully maintained and boasts a variety of flora and fauna, including a stunning collection of plants and flowers.

One of the highlights of Greenbank Garden is the formal walled garden with its elegant fountain and small peaceful pond. It's the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature. The small woodland walk is another must-see, offering a peaceful stroll through a picturesque forest setting.

The on-site cafe is a lovely addition to the garden, with helpful staff and a delicious selection of food and drinks. Although there was a minor issue with our order, the staff went above and beyond to make it right by offering us a complimentary cake. It's a testament to their commitment to providing excellent customer service.

Overall, Greenbank Garden is a must-visit for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the city. It's a beautiful and well-maintained garden that's perfect for a relaxing day out, and the cafe is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat or a...

Greenbank Garden is attached to the 1760'S home of Glasgow merchant, Robert Allason. Since 1976, the gardens and home have been managed by the National Trust for Scotland, following it being gifted to them by the then owners Mr & Mrs Blyth. Established as a garden advice centre, for owners of small suburban gardens. The gardens are beautifully kept and managed. There are a variety of plants, trees, herbs, and items of historical interest within then, surrounded by a garden wall. Throughout the garden, there are benches for you to stop and take in the beautiful surroundings. It's a fantastic location on a beautiful sunny day to sit and read a book or just relax. Items of interest include the 1938 Glasgow Empire Exhibition statue called "Foam" displayed as part of a water fountain. There is a cafe on site both inside and a covered courtyard area. The toilets are clean. The courtyard is cobbled and can be difficult to navigate at sections in a wheelchair if not assisted. Ample grounds to wander, mainly with grass underfoot. There is a free car park on site. It's a wee hidden gem...

I had a lovely time walking around the gardens with my family . There were lots of little places for you to sit and enjoy the different parts of the gardens and all the plants. We then went to the cafe for a drink and snack before we left, which was lovely. We then brought some plants and went to pay where a young ladie said that we were cheeky using our own tea bags, we said that they didn't have any tea that we drank . She asked what the tea was that we drank so we told her red bush tea she shook her head and said again we were cheeky doing that. I found it very rude of her to say that in front of other customers and we had brought plants etc as well we hadn't done any harm to anyone or anything. I didn't catch her name but she had long brown hair in ponytail and slim in build she was on with another lady who took our order and was gine about it all . It was a shame that she put a dampener on a...

Headed up thinking it was dog friendly after reading online. But, it was disappointing after making the drive all the way there, to find, they are not allowed into the garden. They are allowed indoors and outdoors in the food court area. Which is nice enough. Lots in the gardens cornered off at the moment. Maintenance perhaps. But still good for a day visit and if you are maybe local for something else. As doesn't take long. Provides restrooms, clean and tidy enough. Lost star on the doggy confusion. Got a great photo opportunity but. Shaded areas and umbrellas in the food area for hot days. Helped with the dogs and sitting out option.

Visited on a rainy day, so I didn’t get to enjoy the garden as much as I would have liked. I only stayed for a short while, but even in that time it was clear how beautifully looked-after the place is. Every part of the garden has its own character, with little details that catch your eye. There’s also a small café on site, which I didn’t get to try this time. I’d love to come back on a brighter day and take it all in properly. It’s a lovely spot.

Visited on a weekday mid June. Absolutely stunning displays of plants and flowers within the Walled Garden, each section in the maze has secluded seating where you can sit and admire the view. Unfortunately the house is no longer open to public. Lovely woodland walks surrounding the gardens too. Nice cafe with seating indoors and out. Will definitely revisit 🌞
