1. Mrs Maud Alston Marker

Inscription. Maud Alston moved from Western Australia to nearby Oaklands Junction following her marriage. As a 'new bride' to the Bulla area, the Clarks took her under their wing and they became great friends

They shared a love of gardening, and so Alister gave Maud 'her' rose and asked her to see how it grew in her garden.

After Alister died John Sharp, the head gardener at Glenara came to work at the Alstons' property 'Oaklands', where he planted a number of daffodils Alister had bequeathed to him.

Maud's daughter Tid is a founding member and major supporter of the Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden.

Erected by Hume City Council.
