Visitors to the exhibition are also encouraged to relive their memories of the event and share their thoughts.
It was hailed as one of the platforms which helped Glasgow reinvent itself as a city of cultural significance and attracted more than four million visitors in just five months.
Now, a new exhibition is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Glasgow Garden Festival, the first international expo to be held in Scotland's biggest city since the Empire Exhibition in 1938. reports our sister title The Herald.‘Glasgow’s 1988 Festival: How Did The Garden Grow?’ is being held at community space New Glasgow Society in the Finnieston area of the city.
It tells the story from the beginning; how Glasgow made a successful pitch as the third Garden Festival venue in the UK after Liverpool and Stoke-On-Trent, how the team designed the festival with various zones and themes, and how the festival was delivered. The last chapter explores the ongoing research about the festival's legacy, with the AtGF team successfully locating many items from the festival - including some in Papua New Guinea and Japan - such as original Glasgow Garden Festival brochures, vehicle tags and t-shirts.
“Working in collaboration with Glasgow Urban Lab and After the Garden Festival, we have managed to encapsulate the Event which evokes so many memories 35 years later.“Apart from learning about the technical/design aspect and potential future developments, visitors to the exhibition have enjoyed watching original cine camera footage and sharing their own stories and experiences of the summer of 1988.
