Posted on 18 May 2022
Here are some photos of the beautiful May flowers and spring growth here at Hilfield. The Secret Garden is wonderful in April and May with the array of Rhododendrons, Azaleas and countless more species.
Br Vincent’s work continues
Posted on 1 March 2022
There is further pruning and clearing for ease of access and the benefit of the plants taking place in the Secret Garden. Pathways are being constructed and hopefully finished soon.
Br Vincent’s snowdrops are looking fantastic and we’ve planted more daffodils. We’ve cleared the brambles at the top of the Secret Garden, and planted more grass seeds, summer snowflakes and alliums.

In December people came from far and wide to plant oak saplings. They celebrated the Eucharist in the marquee, enjoyed a tasty lunch, listened to music, blesssed the oak leaf stone carving created by Community Member Lindy, and listen to tales of Hilfield.
