A project-based residency opportunity in West Sonoma County

Calling all the wonderful artists, writers, architects, designers, horticulturalists, researchers, chefs, builders, carpenters, makers, marketers, and others in our network who have a project they’d like time and space to work on. 

In this uncertain time we want to share the idyllic place we steward, to use our land and its stories to inspire new ideas, and to create ways to live gently, thoughtfully, and collectively with all of humanity.

We are piloting a project-based residency for friends and family at our working botanical garden and adjacent property in Occidental, CA. We are currently offering a short-term pay-to-stay and work/stay option. We are also raising money to subsidize residencies across a range of disciplines in the future.

We will provide housing, work space, and stunning grounds to inspire creativity and productivity.

Six acres of pasture, redwoods, and historic botanical gardens to roam, work, and find inspiration.
