Cotterstock Quiet Garden is set out in what was was part of the Gardens of Cotterstock Hall.
The garden is not a show garden or a place of great horticultural skill.; rather it is a place where people of any, or no faith, may come to be quiet and peaceful and reflect as they wish.
This is a garden for reflection and meditation, so please make use of the many seats provided for this purpose.
There are some underlying principles of the garden:
The importance of hospitality and sharing what we have so that we welcome people as much as we can.
The significance of quiet and the importance of reflection, not as an escape, but as a means of developing understanding.
The value of beauty and nature and our part in preserving it, along with the importance of sharing our resources.
The meaning of finding 'Heaven in the Ordinary'; the true importance of the everyday experience and living in the here and now.
