Monastic Gardens Scented Candle – Lilac & Floral | 5.5 oz | Hand-Poured at Conception Abbey
Every monastery has a garden. It is the place where silence and beauty meet — where monks walk between rows of blooming herbs and flowers, where the air itself seems to carry a kind of prayer. The Monastic Gardens Scented Candle captures that sacred stillness in fragrance. Soft, spring-like lilac unfolds gently, carrying with it the tender sweetness of a garden in full bloom — unhurried, graceful, and quietly alive. It's the scent of a cloister garden on a May morning, dew still on the petals, the world hushed and holy. Hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri, this candle brings the peace of the monastery garden into your home.
Soft, blooming lilac with gentle floral notes — a serene, spring-inspired scent that brings the peace of a monastery garden indoors.
Coconut & soy wax burns cleaner and longer than paraffin — no harsh chemicals, just a steady flame and a beautiful, even scent throw.
Hand-poured by Benedictine monks in Conception, MO — each candle a product of the same contemplative care that tends the monastery's own gardens.
A lovely choice for Mother's Day, Easter, May crownings, First Communion, or any occasion calling for a gentle, faith-inspired gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Monastic Gardens smell like?
Monastic Gardens is a soft, spring floral fragrance centered on lilac in full bloom. It's gentle and feminine — not sharp or perfume-like — with a natural, garden-fresh quality that feels serene and unhurried. Think of a quiet monastery garden on a warm May morning.
What inspired the name?
Monastic gardens have been a part of Benedictine life for centuries — spaces of beauty, contemplation, and purposeful cultivation. The monks of Conception Abbey tend their own grounds as part of their daily rhythm of prayer and work. This candle is a tribute to those sacred, blooming spaces.
Who makes this candle?
The Monastic Gardens candle is hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. Their candle-making reflects the same contemplative care they bring to every aspect of monastic life — including their gardens.
Is this a good gift for Mother's Day or a May crowning?
Absolutely. Monastic Gardens is one of our most popular choices for Mother's Day, May crownings in honor of Our Lady, First Communion, and Easter. Its soft lilac fragrance is gentle, beautiful, and deeply fitting for Marian celebrations and springtime sacraments.
How do I get the best burn from this candle?
Trim the wick to 1/8"–1/4" before every lighting. On the first burn, let the candle burn for 3–4 hours so the wax pool reaches the edges — this prevents tunneling and ensures a full, even burn throughout the candle's life. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
