The Eclipta sanctuary is now home to over 125 different medicinal plants who are a mix of native, naturalized & non-native species. We pride ourselves on being one of the most biodiverse ecosystems within the city & specialize in habit restoration which considers, soil health, climate change instability & the cultivation of both flood & drought tolerant plants.

What does it mean to know the land? Why learn about the land around you? Learning the land where you live is about cultivating a relationship with the external & internal environment which then allows you to rise to the challenges of life by emotionally, physically & spiritually rooting to the earth under your feet. It is also about the importance of place based education as a radical act of climate change reversal. “Our severance from nature leaves us feeling as if we do not belong in the world, & that can be a source of anxiety & deep despair.” The simple act of working with local herbs on a daily bases can be a means of harnessing this connection again. “If we no longer feel nurtured by the Earth, we no longer belong to it, & because we do not belong to it, we do not feel responsible for it.”
