Current location, if known

Pagoda (and possibly wall) at Klondyke Garden Centre, Polmont (as at May 2022)

Notes

Awarded 'PR􀅣MIER INTE􀅤ATIONAL EXHIBIT' at the conclusion of the Garden Festival. The Klondyke Garden Centre also had a large floral logo (originally from the Glasgow Garden Festival) on their main outside wall, but this seems to have been removed. Could be confused with Dalian, People’s Republic of China Friendship Garden, or Hong Kong Friendship Garden.

    This garden and pagoda, plus the curved wall with circular entrance stood beside Klondyke Garden Centre, Polmont, Falkirk for many years. It was closed off, fell into disrepair and demolished (I believe) in recent years when the whole centre underwent an upgrade. My favourite exhibit… I have photos somewhere, will dig them out

    1. Thanks Lorraine – apparently it’s still there (the Pagoda, at least) as of May 2022, so catch it while you can!

  2. Looks like the pagoda is located behind the garden center in Polmont.

    Not sure where this gateway is, but you can see the Shanghai Garden pagoda in the background

    1. It’s one of the ‘Folie de Grandeur’ sculptural entrances to the Rendezvous, so have moved it there.
