Sacred Space Gardening

 

 


Gardens transport us from 
our everyday world where 
we often lose ourselves in work, shopping, driving, and parenting to one designed solely by Mother Nature. 

This cob bench sits in the heart of our Medicinal Plant Garden. 
Framed by an arbor and surrounded by medicinal plants, this seating area 
offers us time to reflect and remember the gifts of sustenance, medicine, textiles, and beauty our 
planet freely provides. 
It creates a still point in the hub of the Garden and gives 
us time to contemplate the beauty and wonder of our natural world. 




A stone spiral has been placed in front of the bench, 
a reminder of the human 
quest for meaning. The 
bench sits on large stones 
and is framed partly by 
wooden branches. Made of garden mud and straw, it is protected from the elements with several applications of linseed oil and beeswax. It 
was designed and built by Jennie Spreckels.

"We come from the Earth 
and to the Earth we return. 
In between we garden."
