The Garden
There are pictures of Ferrar House garden all across this site. Some more are in the gallery at the bottom of this 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.
It is the result of some effort and input (see the list below).
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!
You can help.
If you have the time and the inclination to work as a volunteer with this team please use the contact form. It's fun and fulfilling and your work would help to create a special atmosphere of spiritual benefits to pilgrims to this place.
If you can make a financial contribution, which will be much appreciated no matter how small, then please call in or make a BACS payment to Little Gidding Trust Ltd sort code 40-52-40 A/C 00012221 or send a cheque payable to Little Gidding Trust Limited.
Thank you.
