Aullwood Garden MetroPark has a roughly mile-long garden path for walking through gardens, woods and a prairie. The trail is a combination of grass, gravel, soil and pavement. 

The bluebells seen each spring are the offspring of the original 100 plants that Marie planted in 1928 in the rock garden on the slopes around the house. The profusion of blue-eyed Marys (John Aull's favorite flower) multiplied from a colony rescued from a local farmer who would have plowed the plants. 

Through the years, the Aulls interlaced native spring wildflowers like trillium, spring beauty and Dutchman's breeches with daffodils, winter aconite and other favorites - dormant wildflower seeds germinated and bloomed in the swales. "We helped the process by buying replacements for plants that had disappeared," she said.

Marie once stood under the portico of her quiet brown house on the hill and and told a reporter for the Dayton Daily News, "This (gesturing to the woodland), before the raiding, the picking and digging, is how all Ohio woodlands looked when I was a girl."

There is a trail connection to the South Park of Englewood MetroPark and to the Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm.
