Bed & Breakfast

Escape to Drummonds run, where quiet mornings, native gardens, and warm country hospitality come together. Our Bed & Breakfast offers a peaceful, well‑appointed retreat surrounded by nature, ideal for business travellers, visiting professionals, and guests seeking restorative comfort. Thoughtful touches, calm spaces, and the gentle rhythm of the land make every stay feel grounding and effortless. Please call for availability. Visits and bookings are strictly by appointment to ensure privacy and a safe, secluded experience for all guests.

Indoor & Outdoor Pot Planting Sessions

Step into a nurturing space where nature and wellbeing meet. Our facilitator‑led therapeutic horticulture sessions are designed to support mental health through hands‑on, heart‑centred activities. In small, intimate groups or one‑to‑one settings, you’ll pot up your favourite herb or succulent, chosen just for you, and take it home to care for and watch it flourish.

Alongside these gentle activities, guests can explore specialised horticultural skills such as espalier shaping, introductory bonsai techniques, and practical grafting training. These mindful, craft‑based practices offer a calming focus, encouraging presence, creativity, and connection with the living landscape.

Each session offers a gentle rhythm of connection and creativity. Whether you're seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or simply a moment to breathe, our garden‑based experiences provide a safe and supportive environment to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

No green thumb required. Just an open heart.

From our customers

Your journey matters. If you feel called to connect, we're here - with open hearts and steady hands. Yours in growth Sandy.

Drummonds run and the space is amazing. I was able to finish my book in a safe and accommodating space over a few weekends and was eager to return to this nurturing environment each week. It's like a home away from home where you can gather inspiration and move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like clarification on any matter.

Therapeutic horticulture (TH) is the facilitated use of plants and nature-based activities to support individual or group goals related to personal health and well-being. Plants and nature become the medium through which growth, healing, and transformation occur.

While gardening and spending time in nature both offer proven health benefits, TH is distinct because it is professionally facilitated, goal-oriented and deliberately structured.

Drummond run practitioners create both passive and active opportunities for engagement, such as gardening (vegetables, perennials, annuals), indoor plant care and seed starting, greenhouse and nursery work, organising plant and associated plant equipment sales, creating arts, crafts and plant-based products. Drummonds' run also offers an introduction to camping outdoors for new outdoor enthusiasts looking to learn in a safe environment.
