Hidden away behind the high brick wall that encloses Cabra College is a surprise – overlooked by heritage stone buildings and a magnificent old Moreton Bay fig tree, is a hectare of informal, tranquil gardens. The Peace Gardens were established in 1987 as a memorial garden, a quiet yet stimulating space to connect with nature and enjoy all a garden gives. The Sophia Garden shares the site and surrounds the Sophia Centre, a unique and inspiring building architecturally designed and symbolically shaped as a spiral.
The many trees are treasured, but the massive Moreton Bay fig is a favourite.
The Dominican Peace and Sophia Gardens are beautiful, calm and uplifting – a secluded, serene and special space to appreciate nature.
