We kindly ask you NOT to bring your dogs into the garden unless you are able to carry it the entire time you are here… We have chickens, parrots and cats on the property whose safety we are responsible for—including our guests. Thank you so much for understanding!
We have an African Grey Cockatoo in the garden. Please note for those sensitive to “caging birds” that we do NOT support the bird trade. Our bird is a rescue bird from homes in which they were no longer able to either be safe, happy or properly cared for. OUR BIRD IS DEEPLY LOVED, well cared for and we take it out of its house EVERY day. We see its home as PROTECTION for it (and in some cases, you), not “caging” it. We appreciate the concern of those who would prefer to see birds free, we get it. However, we prefer to see birds alive, healthy and happy…and our bird is!
Meet Shanti!
Shanti (“Peace” in Sanskrit) is an African Grey Parrot. He joined us in July of 2015 at 20 years old. He adds a lot of levity and is a majestic addition!
Kumu (“teacher” in Hawaiian) is our adorable and extremely friendly Golden Retriever. SUPER Sweet!
Maka (beloved) is our newest addition….another extremely friendly Golden Retriever.
Kiki—our magical black kitty, has taken up residence in the garden and is often found in meditation groups and labyrinth walks.
Sol—our gray, striped tabby, enjoys his afternoon naps in the garden, as well as snuggles anytime!
Missy Cat—is a stray that showed up at our door hissing at us. We called her “Hissy Cat” but fed her and sent her love until she started purring and meowing instead…so we changed her name to Missy Cat. The love is now mutual!
We also have wild chickens and beloved hand-raised turtles, and koi!
