Boulder Gardens Sanctuary

 
          This special place set amid huge boulders with a vista that stretches forever holds a big heart and an even bigger intention. Garth, the landowner resident, and steward has worked tirelessly for 40 years on his 640-acres in the Californian desert to cultivate a harmonic co-existence between man and the natural world. Within which to build sustainable agriculture, plantings, aquaculture, and animal husbandry. Garth's generous spirit and humble graciousness welcome anyone passing through with open arms and warm smiles. This has created a loving network of friends who have been influenced and inspired by Garth.

Garth and all others that know him will tell the stories of the life he has led, of his hard work and passion for the land. His dedication has transformed the land by establishing fruit trees, grains, plants and flowers, and ponds enjoyed by frogs, fish, and birds. Nature and people are continuously nurtured in this wonderful sacred garden oasis amongst the boulders.

This natural spiritual dream has been a springboard and resting place for hundreds of monks, lightworkers, and holy persons of all types, living in caves, tiny structures, and shelters from the storms of life to meditate, reflect, and launch forth new dreams and inspired ways. 

Visitors and guests are welcome to experience the land,  enjoy its magnificence through small gatherings, drum circles, and other ceremonies while contributing in many ways.

You are being called to share in our vision.

In Garth's own words:

“I want the Boulder Gardens to be a place where all are welcome. I want it to be an example of how to live in a place filled with natural beauty,  without destroying it;  where people can  share their ideas, their brilliance, and their love, to foster a better world. A new world so to speak."


Love
Garth and Friends

UPDATE 2020
Garth's Boulder Gardens
We continue to maintain and improve Boulder Gardens for all during the COVID-19 crisis! 
We send love to our friends, the local community, and the world!

Our intention is to build three new hydroponic greenhouses.
"Desert Hydroponic Greenhouse" 




Our greenhouse project features hydroponic gardens with two types of kale, bok Choi, arugula, bib lettuce, artisan lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, carrots, wheatgrass, and other herbs.

We also have plans to build a restroom structure with composting toilets, another well, a solar pump for the pool, a shade structure over the main sitting area, and much more.

Your donations help to maintain and improve Garth's boulder gardens for all.

We truly appreciate your help in supporting an environment where all are welcome to coexist in harmony.”

Thank you for your generous donations!

This place will always hold a special place in my heart. My husband grew up going to this place and I know will always hold a special in his heart. The property is beautiful. The boulders are breathtaking and you really forget about all the shit going on in today’s world. It’s a beautiful oasis out in the middle of the desert.

A visitor wrote on April 21st, 2019:
“The most unbelievably magical experience. Beautiful doesn’t quite cut it- the place, the people...this is a true heaven on Earth. Can’t wait to come back.”
