Gardenfest is a celebration of the Earth and the gifts it provides. We gather to celebrate our home and the land that nourishes us. We gather all tribes, creeds, colors, under One Love and Ayni which in Quechua Language means reciprocity. We give back our blessings in song, movement, dance, through our individual and collective expressions.
Gardenfest is a space that promotes sustainable ways to work with nature for a cleaner, greener planet. We act as a hub that brings together the wisdom of farmers, permaculture experts, mycologists, herbalists, among others to educate and share new ideas for an earth-conscious and more eco-friendly future.
Our festival offers a diverse and incredibly talented roster of Musicians, Singers, Poets, Dancers, and Artists of all walks. It is an international gathering that attracts artists from all over the country and Latin America.
Gardenfest is a family friendly event, we believe in inclusivity and support the development of our children offering them a safe space to also appreciate the cultural offerings. We are highly supportive of Native traditions and are honored to be hosts to elders from tribes of North, Central and South America who join us to share their wisdom and ancient teachings.
Our gatherings strive to create a high quality production from the artists to vendors and workshop leaders. We put a lot of time and effort in creating a safe and transformative environment for all ages who will walk away inspired to seek their gifts and share them with others, collectively raising the vibration of our planet.
The Children, Educators, Healers, Farmers, Artists, Parents and anyone who is seeking a change in the paradigm of modern society. In a world where culture has been hijacked by forces that seek to promote violence, lust, drugs and death, Gardenfest looks to create a template for a better future for our children. This is for all peoples, those who are curious and those who are interested in finding new ways of living, closer to nature, grounded in respect for all our relations, those who seek connection to healthy community, those who have a desire to find their higher calling, but don’t know where to start and those who seek to learn more about farming, agriculture, permaculture, mycology, plant medicines and native wisdom.
