Boulder Garden Sanctuary Retreat - A Re-Greening of the Desert





Witness the product of the hard work and vision of one man "Garth" to re-green the desert using permaculture methods. His success can be used as an example of how nature can give back by simply taking a little time to put in place a method that will sustain on its own in time...
Location: Yucca Valley, California
Boulder Garden Sanctuary Retreat is a paradise sanctuary for hiking, meditation and visiting in the High Desert of California. Some of the spots "Garth" shows us in this video are enchantingly beautiful - especially the pool. For more, see the website: http://www.godswaylove.com
