A Place of Refuge ~ A Nature Reserve ~ A Sacred Place
Sanctuary Gardens
ABOUT US
Family Owned Acreage
Built With Love
Sanctuary Gardens is the dream of gardener Kirstin Wakal. Born initially at a time in her life when she was seeking a sanctuary space, the gardens’ humble beginnings started with the planting of the first few trees around her home. Looking out of her kitchen window in those early years, she kept imagining a gazebo like structure tucked in amongst the wild meadow. The dream became a reality in 2012 with the building of her open air timber frame, white washed sanctuary.
Over the past ten plus years, Kirstin was inspired to add something new each season, to create what we know now as Sanctuary Gardens. The ever-evolving projects continue to be a labour of love, shared virtually on her social media accounts as well as in person for those who visit. The gardens have captured the eye of many a bride, photographer and other fellow gardeners, looking for a beautifully natural and wild landscape.
With a vision of creating a sacred space for love, she continues developing her personal gardens to share with those who seek the same. Kirstin’s garden-style aligns with the Okanagan landscape with its wild sage and bunchgrass meadows. The added meandering paths connect to picturesque vignettes, backdropped by stunning lake and mountain views, evokes a sense of peace, harmony, and sanctuary.
