Mill Brae Memory Garden

In a little corner of Larne, a local resident transformed a former grass verge into a community garden for all to enjoy.

The garden in question sits at the bottom corner of the Mill Brae, at the junction with Lower Cairncastle Road, next to Larne Grammar Secondary School. Local resident Ann Magee single-handedly converted the area into a floral paradise with wildflowers, potted plants, garden ornaments, decorative plants, fairy lights, and paving stones.

Magee originally created the garden to honor her two sons, who tragically lost their lives. However, as the garden has grown and more of the community has come to cherish its meaning, the garden has become a place for all to come and reflect on loved ones who have passed.
