Earth Sanctuary is a beautiful nature sanctuary that has a focus on nature, conservation, ecology, and also spirituality. The owner and founder is Buddhist - and welcomes all who are seeking quiet haven in nature, introspection, and who seek to support and conserve precious nature.

This was our third sculpture garden type thing we’ve gone to this trip and we found this very disappointing. There were only a handful of sculptures, most of the things were just piles of rocks. Many of them had junk on it. Like sea shells, stickers, bandaid wrappers… etc. very distracting from the art. There was water jugs just lying all over the place with green smile in the bottom of them. Just something about the place gave us a bad vibe. The many many signs ordering people to pay or get off the property didn’t help. It was only $7 but that’s more than the other places and it felt like you’re just wondering lost on someone’s property the whole time.
