About Skanda Vale Hospice Garden

A pebble-lined water rill meanders through shade and sunlight from a circular pool to a circular Sacred Space under a huge Beech tree ….. and sets the tone for this beautiful small garden. It was built in 2016 specifically to be therapeutic, for meditation, tranquillity and togetherness, maintained now by a band of loyal volunteers. A series of lawns and glades, for gatherings, games or just sitting, link extraordinary garden buildings with a willow spiral, wildlife pond, colourful borders, sculptures and stained glass. Planting schemes of blue and gold at the entrance inspire calm and confidence; brighter red, orange and white by the hospice lift the mood. All seasons have something to offer the visitor. Craft stall on NGS open days.

For those interested, the hospice buildings and facilities will also be open for all to have a good look around. Accommodation available at Skanda Hafan please phone 01559 384566 or visit: https://www.skanda-hafan.com/en/

A garden for quiet contemplation, wheelchair friendly, with lots of small interesting features. Craft stall.
