Welcome to Nature’s Haven

'Nature is but another name for health' ...Henry David Thoreau

 

Our mission is to enable our community to access and learn about the therapeutic benefits of gardening and nature within a haven that provides nourishment for the mind, body and soul.

We invite you to an outdoor retreat to escape the pressures of everyday life. We aim to give our visitors a sense of strength and protection with the intention of providing a more tranquil state of mind.

About Nature’s Haven

'The shortest road to recovery leads through a garden'....  Robert Myers

Nature's Haven is filled with a variety of plants that promote a sense of well being and hope. Our garden design is based on the principles of a physic garden, focusing on the plants' inherent healing properties.

It is a place of refuge where healing, distraction and stress relief is promoted. 

Nature's Haven has created, maintains & continues to develop our healing garden to generate an abundance of positivity. The garden is restorative and yet enabling too, allowing the visitor to 'simply be', reflect & be fully present in the moment and/or actively engage in gardening through our social therapeutic horticultural programmes.

 

We provide events and opportunities to engage as many people in our community as possible as we nurture and promote a feeling of connectedness.

The garden is a feast for the senses with sound, colour, fragrance, movement, texture and taste. The beds and borders are a mix flowers, herbs fruit and vegetables, focusing on heritage and disease resistant varieties. The garden design include a series of defined outdoor spaces,  with fire pit and water feature to encourage as much biodiversity as possible and aid contemplation. 

We champion sustainability and we are guided by permaculture  principles thus avoiding synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.  We also have two bug hotels and nest boxes.

 

The garden is designed with accessibility in mind.  Wheelchairs are able to access all areas of the garden with raised beds, wheelchair ramps and accessible toilets . We also have adapted tools to assist with any mobility issues.

We can't wait for you to come and enjoy our gardens.
