The Sanctuary
encompasses a large, wooden summerhouse
overlooking two herb gardens and a small
oak glade where three springs feed into
a hidden pond. The glade includes many
ancient trees including oak, ash, elder,
hawthorn, hazel, willow, rowan,
crabapple and field maple, as well as
more recent plantings of apple and Balm
of Gilead poplar. Benches are located in
convenient spots so that visitors can
sit and admire the view or engage in
meditation - whatever takes their fancy.
