🌿 Exciting News! 🌿

I’m delighted to share that Lea Gardens will be opening to the public for one special day this summer!

Join us from 12pm–4pm on Sunday 21st June for a fundraising open garden in support of the Hillswick Wildlife Sanctuary.

Come and enjoy the beauty of the gardens, learn more about the incredible work of the sanctuary, and help support the care and rehabilitation of Shetland’s wildlife.

Whether you're a garden lover, wildlife enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful afternoon out, we would love to welcome you.

🌿 All proceeds will go to the Hillswick Wildlife Sanctuary.
🌿 Everyone welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there! 💚

This is an invitation to join me for a nourishing and immersive Summer Solstice experience in the peaceful surroundings of Lea Gardens. As the sun reaches its highest point and the gardens are bursting with life, I invite you to join me for morning of connection, reflection, and creativity at Lea Gardens.

Together we'll gather around the fire pit, setting our intention for the day, wander mindfully through the gardens, awaken our senses to the beauty around us, and create a nature mandala using treasures gifted by the land.

This is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, honour what you are ready to let go of, and plant seeds of intention for the season ahead.

Held in the company of nature and community, we'll celebrate the abundance of midsummer and the simple joy of being present.

Leave feeling grounded, nourished, and connected to the wisdom of the natural world.

Saturday 20th June 2026 - 11.00am - 13.30pm - Lea Gardens
