Gardens & Land

ASHA’s gardens are called paradise

Nestled in the ancient Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, ASHA Centre sits on 5 acres of breath taking countryside that has been lovingly restored to its natural beauty.

Our grounds feature over 4,000 roses in our award-winning gardens, peaceful woodland walks, and the gentle sounds of the stream, from the sacred St. Anthony's Well. ASHA's Labyrinth is surrounded by a secret garden and large fire pit, Hobbiton and Eco Lodge, for bird watching and mediation.

Every season brings new wonder: spring blossoms, summer abundance, autumn colours, and winter's quiet beauty. Our organic gardens provide fresh produce, while our beehives contribute to local biodiversity. ASHA is more than just a venue - it's a living ecosystem where people and nature thrive together in harmony.
