Full walk Green · 70 min

Ailie's Garden is named after Ailie MacLaurin (1913–2000) — see the leaflet available in the Smith — who was involved with the Stirling Homesteads, a small community of houses and a farm on the edge of Kings Park, organised on co-operative lines, where various crafts and sustainable gardening were practised in the early part of the 20th century.
