The gardens at Ffald y Brenin are a peaceful place to spend time with the Lord. Every season has its own beauty, and all of it points to a Creator God who delights when His children enjoy the nature He’s made. We live in a busy, chaotic world, and sometimes the invitation of Jesus is simply to sit with him in the garden. Beholding beauty has a gentle way of ministering to the soul.

Sustaining God, bless this dirt,
which must first be broken before it yields,
and show us how the shattered places within us are fertile ground too.

Lord of all, bless these plants to grow
as living remembrances of the garden we lost
and of the paradise we will soon regain.

– Elledge & Moore, Liturgies for Hope
