The Walled Garden
Step through the gates and leave the noise behind. A place to pause, breathe, and simply be. Whether you're seeking quiet reflection or the grounding energy of working with plants, this is where wellness happens naturally.
A Sanctuary in the Making
Where Heritage Meets Healing
The Walled Garden is becoming a sanctuary for slow living. A place where you can reconnect with nature's rhythms, feel the soil between your fingers, and remember what it means to be present.
Dating back to 1777, this Grade II listed space holds 250 years of history within its walls. Now it's ready to write a new chapter - one focused on wellness, community, and the healing power of green spaces.
When we care for the earth, it cares for us back. Join us in creating a space that nourishes both people and planet.
The Reality
What It's Like Right Now
The garden is in desperate need of restoration. It's overgrown and many of its heritage features are in disrepair. But the bones are still there, waiting to be brought back to life.

Looking Ahead
Our Vision
We're creating a space where people can connect with nature, learn new skills, and find community. A place that's welcoming to everyone, whatever their background or circumstances.
Imagine productive growing beds bursting with organic vegetables. Restored glasshouses nurturing heritage varieties. Quiet corners for reflection and busy workshops buzzing with activity.
A safe place for carers, people with chronic conditions, and those with additional needs. A place to feel supported and seen, held and uplifted. Somewhere you can just be, surrounded by nature and community.

A Space to Slow Down & Reconnect
In a world that constantly demands more, we're creating a space that offers something radical: permission to do less. To sit with a cup of tea and watch the bees. To feel the sun on your face. To remember that you are part of nature, not separate from it.
