The Augustine Oases Gardens

The Augustine Gardens act as a chalice for the worship, transformation and integration that takes place within the therapy rooms, quiet rooms and main hall.

They bring together, embrace and give movement to the static buildings.
The gardens are a place of rest and remembrance and also of friendships rekindled and lives restored.

What more then can we do than to redevelop the gardens with love to benefit those who have been before and will arrive later.
A few like minded persons decided to take it upon themselves to make the changes real rather than simply words and slowly we are beginning to change the face of the gardens, to weed, to plant, to mulch, to water and to enjoy.
