Art at Mountain View

Inspired by nature itself, our wildflower meadow adds a living canvas of colour to the Mountain View landscape. Carefully created by Head Gardener Ben Richards, it showcases a stunning mix of UK native wildflowers that change with the seasons while supporting bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Overlooking the Sulby River, the meadow provides a peaceful place to pause, reflect and reconnect with nature, promoting both biodiversity and mental wellbeing while demonstrating how even an underused space can be transformed into something truly beautiful.

 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. 

Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Matthew 6:28-34
