More about our Sanctuary Garden: The dictionary defines sanc·tu·ar·y as a place of refuge or safety; A nature preserve; A holy place. The Sanctuary Garden of Native Wildflowers and Forest Medicinals supports Spirit Canoe Lodge’s Vision: to serve as a self-sustaining community that nurtures the human spirit and brings balance into the world for generations. We know that any sustainable land project deserves the necessary consideration of its at-risk plant populations and we honor them by:
Providing protected space for the native and medicinal plants to repopulate and naturalize
Cultivating At-Risk Medicinal plants for use instead of harming wild populations
Contributing to a sustainable and fair medicinal herb market in Appalachia
Growing a Community that puts connecting with nature and the earth in the forefront of all it does
Inspiring others by providing education opportunities
Nurturing a place of beauty and our connection to the natural world and all its living things

We look forward to being in community again!
