    • Something for everyone – walled garden, woodland with Geilston burn, large kitchen garden and new exciting experimental plantings such as Geilston prairies –utilising and naturalising North American species

    • Summer floral display from the large herbaceous border

    The garden at Geilston was developed over 200 years ago. It is a testimony to good landscape design – with the sum of its parts being greater than the individual constituents. These parts comprise a large walled garden with a dominating 100-foot Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in the centre of the lawn, a kitchen garden and woodland area. The Geilston Burn wends its way through the north of the estate towards the Clyde in Cardross. MORE>

    Garden: 1 Apr to 31 Oct, daily 9.30-5.
