For Music Performance booking- message https://www.facebook.com/MattBasler88?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Uc Mandala Gardens is the manifestation of a decades long dream and was created by Greg Reid & Diana Tigerlily. In the early 1990s while in graduate school, even before their daughter Raynah was born, they shared a dream of creating a botanical wonderland, a space of beauty and sa

nctuary for all living beings to enjoy, with herbs, flowers, heirloom vegetables, and stone sculptures grown in circular designs called
mandalas ("sacred circles" in Sanskrit). In fall of 1998, they found four acres, flooded, piled with rusted junk, and boasting a house with a collapsing roof. All they could see was its potential. They hauled out the junk, hauled in manure, raised beds, and planted trees. Then, in summer of 2010, they had the opportunity and ability to purchase the adjoining three acres to their land and knew that they would be able to fully actualize their dream. These past few years, they've dramatically transformed the land and have created many beautiful settings with a pond, new gardens, greenhouses, a cordwood chicken house, a labyrinth, and a stone bridge, along with various art works by internationally known artists, including stone sculptor Thea Alvin's original stone structures, "Infinity Arch" and "Moongate"; Carey Netherton's metal sculpture, "Talisman"; Kendra Stenger's 23-ft diameter ceramic mosaic "Circle of Ritual Wonder ment."; Safaa Abd El Salam's, (Egypt)) mosaic table top and benches; and an Amish-built 30ft, screened in, heated, Gazebo. The vision they had been holding all these years has gradually become physically tangible, and is now visible for others to see. The building of Mandala Gardens continues to be an ongoing process and you are invited to visit and share in the tranquility and contentment of the gardens.
