Aventine Wellness Gardens at Lis na Carrig
Health and Sustainable Living for Thriving Communities
In 2021, guided by her values and inspired by the natural beauty of Lis na Carrig, owner and philanthropist Chantal McCabe founded Aventine Wellness Gardens — a not-for-profit sanctuary dedicated to healing, community, and environmental stewardship. Born from a desire to create a space where people and nature can thrive together, Aventine is the heart and long-term vision behind opening the estate.
Spanning two acres at the rear of the property, the gardens — once a private golf course — have been thoughtfully restored to their natural state and transformed into a thriving, biodiverse organic landscape. Funded by Chantal and supported in part by grants, Aventine now offers classes, workshops,community events and immersive nature-based experiences rooted in connection, wellbeing, and sustainable living.
The gardens were the first part of the estate to open to the public and remain its true purpose — with every stay and event at Lis na Carrig contributing directly to their continued growth and positive impact.
