@urbanprehistorian.bsky.social I see the ‘Glasglow’ at the botanics this year features some throwbacks to @glasgowgardenfestival.org! There’s also a set of doors in the GGF colours and an arch of flowers, a hot air balloon, and a mini uppy-down-ride?

Meanwhile it was nice to spot our new @glasgowgardenfestival.org walking trail that takes you round the former site of the Glasgow Garden Festival 1988 out in the wild in leaflet stands across Glasgow today! You can also download a digital copy at glasgowgardenfestival.org

It's the 37th anniversary of the Glasgow Garden Festival’s Public Opening Day, and hence a fitting occasion to announce our new walking tour leaflet and interpretation boards. The two boards in Festival Park mark the first onsite recognition of the event.

It was built by Mctaggart & Mickel as a temporary structure for the festival, which ran for five months. Here's my copy of the brochure, which contains the background story on the design... (THREAD)

Some more fascinating Garden Festival documents came to light recently - in this case relevant to the proposed afteruse of the site, and very interesting in the light of what actually came to pass. (Credit: Ann and David Lever archive)

Was shown these during your What Remains tour last December. It was very interesting. A special bottle of whisky.
