Mandala Gardens offers pathways of beauty and hidden benches. Find quiet sitting spots, have a chat with our goats, chickens, and ducks, and simply enjoy the day. We have a rainbow variety of heirloom vegetables and potted herbs available to purchase

If you are interested in holding a wedding or reunion or other event here, contact us for fees and dates. We also host senior photos, maternity photos, homecoming and prom photos, etc. for a small fee. The money earned from entrance fees and herbs/vegetable sales is directly invested into growing Mandala Gardens.

Our gardens are accessible for all ages, abilities, and occasions. We invite you to visit Mandala Gardens and stroll through our mandala gardens in the patterns of a spiral, star, medicine wheel, triquetra and more.
