Patch has exploded in growth this last weekend, with a social post that over 500,000 people have seen, so we had to unexpectedly navigate a deluge of nature-lovers and Thai foodies.
Both blessed and bravely welcoming as many of you as we can, there are a few “new ways” to experience our stunning 20 acres and mindfully pause for a luscious 3-generation Thai family lunch.
As a private non-profit funded by a solo philanthropist, we charge a $25 tax-deductible entry fee to enjoy the sanctuary. Vera’s Thai Garden is our weekend only pop-up cafe, located inside our stunning Cacao Bar; we require that you buy a Day Pass to eat at the cafe.
Take a self guided tour where you can explore the nature preserve on your own. Spend time on the many paths, sit by the water, linger at the koi pond and support our mission of creating habitats for native species through reforestation, conservation and education.
We are a #PlasticFree305 location; bring your own refillable water bottle, no plastic water bottles, balloons or such, are allowed. We invite eco-friendly SPF & bug repellent.

NOTE: Please enter property through 218th street and 157th ave. Look for the sign that says Patch of Heaven Sanctuary next to a long driveway. Take the driveway up to our entrance.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) all ticket sales and on site purchases support our mission; we are the only nature-based mindfulness forest preserve that reconnects Human Nature and Mother Nature, one mindful walk at a time. We can’t wait for you to come “take the Nature Pill @Patch”. 🌳🌳🌳
Please note - Members are not required to make reservations for Sanctuary experiences yet do need a Café reservation for the Thai Pop-up!
