About the garden
Punches of colour, tasty vegetables and a succession of seasonal plants make this a classic garden with a vibrant feel. Geilston is typical of the small country estates on the banks of the Clyde and has offered a tranquil haven for over 200 years. The kitchen garden springs to life in April and May.
Geilston is celebrated for its landscaping, which harmonises nature and cultivation. At the centre is the walled garden, dating back to 1797, dominated by a mammoth Wellingtonia tree. Be inspired by the 131ft herbaceous perennial border, or wander into wilder territory down by the Geilston Burn to connect with nature. Children love the playground, floral mini-maze and exploring the bluebell woods along the Geilston Burn.
