Description:
Our green spaces grow from one end of the village to the other. From the range of perennials and bulbs in the Meadowfoot triangle, past the colourful station beds to the stunning wallflowers and dahlias at the Library triangle. In between, we have the sensory Catlinn, the relaxing Old Man's Rest and the Boyd Orr where his work is celebrated in growing food, fruit and flowers. Pass by our flower beds when you go into the Barony Arts Centre to buy your booklet 'The Community Gardens of West Kilbride'. The Centre is open 10am - 4pm Monday to Saturday. Wander through the Kirktonhall Glen and visit our meadow and community orchard. Cross Gilmour's Lane and wind your way back through Starling Woods with its fairy doors amongst the trees.
Directions: All our gardens are within walking distance of the village centre. There is a regular train service from Glasgow Central to Largs, stopping at West Kilbride. The Stagecoach 585 bus runs regularly between Ayr and Largs, stopping in West Kilbride.
Other details: West Kilbride community has been regenerating its village since 1998. Our focus has been on our buildings, green spaces and attracting footfall for our small shops, cafes, businesses and studios. Please support us by buying our Community Gardens brochure (£5) from the Barony Centre and refreshments are available from one of our many cafes.
