Days Out - Greenbank Gardens

Greenbank House

Had day out at another NTS (National Trust for Scotland) property, Greenbank Gardens. Determined to get value from my £6.50 a month memebership this year, it would seem. This one is only about 20 minutes from my front door.

Can't really say much as the garden is still pretty bare with spring be very late for a change. I do imagine the gardens will look great in full bloom. All we seen was daffodils, thousands of them and cherry blosom. The gardens are well laid and easy to access, ample parking and we were able to push the pram round with out a problem.

I was disappointed that there is no access to the classic Georgian house. Closed to the public. Hopefully that's something that the NTS will look at. Would be great to see a wealthly Glasgow merchants country house was like. Shame.

If your into your gardening then it's definitely good place for you to visit. I will go back but probably later in the year to see the place in a bit more colour.
