Whether you prefer to follow meandering paths, or sit quietly at your window and watch the butterflies, the Askham Gardens bring a sense of relaxation that can not be achieved through any other means. Inspired by eastern philosophies, the gardens bring together sounds, smells and sights to generate a sensory experience that calms and warms all who pass through. In the words of the Aga Khan IV, ‘…gardens are a place where, whatever difficult moments come our way, we can always find, in the flow of refreshing water, a reminder of … blessing’. The central courtyard is Askham’s very own char bagh, quadrants separated by streams of water running towards a central fountain thereby representing aspects of what some believe to have been present in the gardens of paradise. The studies behind horticultural therapy suggest that quality of life is increased manifold with proximity to nature. At Askham the interaction between buildings, people, and the gardens is based on this same thinking. The gardens are open to the public as well as all being enjoyed by all members of the Askham Community. In the quiet serenity you may hear Residents, their families and friends and staff chit chatting, enjoying the expanse of the courtyard or simply trying to work out which plant comes from where? When the weather permits, the landscaped gardens become an extension to the café.
