Gardening Retreat

These retreats are for people who would like to come to St Beuno’s for some personal quiet time and spend 2-4 hours each day helping our Head Gardener in the grounds. The work will not be too strenuous, but you will need a certain level of ‘gardening fitness’ to participate. You will join a handful of others in the garden, so the retreat is not fully silent, though silence will be observed in the house and at meals as you join people on other retreats. Apart from some time spent gardening there will also be plenty of space for your own prayer and reflection, going for walks, or just being. There will be the usual pattern at St Beuno’s of a daily Eucharist and Adoration, and optional spiritual direction will be available at times during your stay.
