From 1978, around the nucleus of Fred and Dick Barton, the idea of a 'school within a garden' has grown and taken shape at Cullerne, a ten-acre property adjacent to the caravan park overlooking Findhorn Bay.
As I look out the window at the Park garden, the trees are bending with the gale-force gusts of wind, and rain is pelting down. How often we view our environment as though framed by the weather, and how often people have viewed Findhorn as though framed by the garden.
Now that I have accepted the role of focaliser at Cullerne for the next wee while, I must begin to look for the creative purpose of its being. Mine is a process of attunement to the earth, of quiet meditations in our rock garden, of listening and looking.
I attuned to Cullerne as my Experience Week work department without knowing what the name stood for. Four mornings over twenty years ago - how could such a short time have had such a powerful impact?

This is the Tree Chronicle chapter about Cullerne Gardens, listing the many trees planted and the strategy for future management.
