Natural Nature

Allowing Nature to Live & Grow how God Intended It To

Within the Grounds of Pure Joy Retreat we will dedicate a Large area of Woodland & Open Land for ‘Natural Nature’ where Nature will be Undisturbed by people and with No Interference of Any kind.

We will leave Nature to Simply ‘Get On with Being Nature‘.

There will be:

  • No ‘Manicured Lawns’.
  • No ‘Pampered Flower Beds’.
  • No Sticking ‘Tracking Devices’ onto Animals.
  • No ‘Pesticides, Herbicides or Any kind of Nastycides’.
  • No ‘Clearing of Woodland’ to plant Native Flowers.
  • And Certainly No ‘Manipulating Nature’ to Suite People.

Nature ‘Deserves Better’ Than That.

Nature was Living on Earth a Long Time before People.

All Forms of Nature from ‘Delicate Mosses’ to ‘Mighty Trees’ and from ‘Tiny Insects’ to the ‘Wildest Wildlife’ were All Living in Harmony before People started to Interfere and Manipulate Nature to How They Want it to be.

Nature Survived & Thrived Perfectly Well without Any Intervention from people.

God knew what He was doing when He Created Nature.

He is the Greatest Gardener of All Time. He is the Greatest Creator that there has Ever Been. And He knows How to Take Care of His Creations.

Yes people need to Do their Best to Look After Nature, but we All need to do it How God Intended us to and Not how people ‘Want To’.

God Created Nature in such a Wonderful Way that if we All just Let Nature Get On With Being Nature (without Interfering) then Nature Will Look After Itself.

At Pure Joy Retreat we will give Nature the ‘Freedom to Flourish’.

We have Discovered through Observing our Tree Collection (see Pinetum Peace) for over 10 years that when you Leave Nature to ‘Simply Be Nature’ and allow it to ‘Do What Nature Does’ then it Flourishes Wonderfully.

Nature Forms its own Natural Harmony. It All works Together in the Wonderful & Mysterious Way that God Created it to.

We Simply Need to let Nature & God ‘Do’ what they ‘Do Best’.

The Area for Natural Nature.

We will dedicate a Large Area within the Grounds of Pure Joy Retreat for Natural Nature.

We will try to select an area that has a Good Variety of:

  • Existing Woodland
  • Plants
  • Shrubs
  • Water (eg. Pond, Stream etc)
  • Open Areas
  • Shaded Areas etc . . .

This will give a Good Variety of Different Environments for Nature.

We will then let Nature Do ‘Whatever Nature Wants To Do’.

We Will give Nature the Freedom to ‘Be Free’.

Observation is Education.

Once we have established an area for Natural Nature, we will Observe it without Interfering in Any Way at all.

When Nature is left alone to ‘Do What Nature Does’ then we can All Learn at Lot from it.

There are Many Fascinating Discoveries to be Enjoyed by Simply spending Quality Time ‘Watching Nature’.

We can Experience & Discover even More of the Wonders of Nature when we ask God to Reveal His Wonderful Mysteries through His Beautiful Creations.

We will Observe How Nature ‘Adapts’ to ‘Whatever Happens To It’, and Learn the Amazing Inbuilt Resources that God Created within Nature.

From our Observations we will Document our Discoveries and make them Available for Anyone who wants to Learn from Nature.

At Pure Joy Retreat we will also provide Viewing areas for people to Observe Nature without Disturbing it.

Nature is Fascinating and we can All Discover Many of its Wonderful Qualities by Simply Observing it.


There Really is ‘More To Nature Than Meets The Eye’.

If you don’t Stop and ‘Look Around’, You can Miss Out.


Nature Deserves Better than the way Many people Treat it.

At Pure Joy Retreat, Nature will be Given the Love, Care & Freedom that Nature Deserves.
