A place of peace and prayer
The Garden
There are pictures of Ferrar House garden all across this site. You'll find more on the gallery page.
It is a place of peace, quiet and beauty, and perfect for sitting quietly to contemplate, reflect and pray. As a garden it fits into the context of House and countryside, complementing the purpose of the Retreat Centre.
Keeping it looking it is best is the result of some effort and input. A small and dedicated team come for a day, once a month on average, to undertake the work and creativity needed to maintain the garden and develop it. They also care for a kitchen garden with herbs and vegetables.
The team enjoys a hearty lunch in the House to fuel its activities!
Would you like to help?
