Synopsis

. . . and Official Guide.

Editor : Bill Simpson.

The Glasgow Garden Festival was the third of the five national garden festivals, and the only one to take place in Scotland. It was held in Glasgow between 28 April and 26 September 1988.

A fascinating piece of Glasgow's cultural history, this souvenir brochure captures the spirit of the 1988 Garden Festival - one of Scotland's most celebrated horticultural events. Packed with vibrant imagery, detailed garden layouts, and insights into the festival's design philosophy, it offers a nostalgic window into the landscaping trends and botanical highlights of the era.

It attracted 4.3 million visitors over 152 days, by far the most successful of the five National Garden Festivals. Its significance in the rebirth of the city was underlined by the 1990 European City of Culture title bestowed on Glasgow in September 1986. The two events together did much to restore Glasgow to national and international prominence.
