The Sacred Garden on Maui Is One of the Most Unique Places

“Where beauty, love, and peace grow”

When was the last time you took a moment to pause, breathe, and look inward? In today’s modern world, it’s difficult to find moments of peace. That’s why we recommend visiting the Sacred Garden on Maui. This non-profit botanical garden is free to the public and features an amazing collection of plants, flowers, living shrines, and artwork.

How to Explore the Sacred Garden on Maui

1. Connect with a Higher Power

The Sacred Garden on Maui is multi-denominational and thus offers images of deities from all religions. The hope is that visitors will see that images of God can co-exist in the same place. Admire a stunning 600-pound wooden Buddha in the Buddha Garden, or sit in front of the impressive painting of Jesus in the Jesus Garden. In the Mother Shrine room, guests are welcome to pray, meditate, journal, or read.

The Mother Shrine honors God in the feminine form, which is found in many cultures around the world. You’ll see Goddess Tara, Quan Yin, the Hindu Goddess Durga, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother. Of course, Mother Nature is honored throughout the property.

2. Walk the Labyrinth

Do you have a question that needs answering? You might just come to a conclusion in a labyrinth. These ancient structures are often used for contemplation; when exploring the twists and turns, one loses track of time and direction. It’s a wonderful way to quiet the mind and find some inner clarity.

The Sacred Garden has two labyrinths: a medieval 11-circuit labyrinth outside, and a classical 7-circuit labyrinth in the greenhouse. They’re free to walk from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, however, we recommend taking a Full Moon Walk in the evening. This event is held each month and includes a guided walk with complimentary tea and hot chocolate in the garden.

3. Get Creative

The beauty of Maui’s Sacred Garden is inspiring. You may even feel compelled to create a garden of your own! Head to the nursery and choose from a wide range of tropical plants, succulents, and flowers to craft your own masterpiece. Or, purchase a pre-made garden, living shrine, or planter for the perfect take-home gift!
