Behind the news stories that love to flash statistics on infection rates are real people who are uncertain of what this situation will mean for them and their families. They are missing work, school, and life in general. People in quarantine face the psychological and physical effects of isolation. People are separated from their families by international and even local borders. People are discouraged or barred from visiting elderly family members. These damages are real damages; independent of the virus and its potency. The question becomes, what can be done?

The space that hosts the project is currently a 9 holes golf course. Our wish is to turn it into a verdant, fragrant garden where rosemary and thyme give golfers and non-golfers alike an opportunity to nourish their body and mind. Creating this mesmerizing atmosphere will be made possible by planting one million rosemarie and thyme bushes around the golf area. Our goal is to create an eco-sustainable place that gives our guests the opportunity to connect with their deeper selves, and with nature. We believe we can achieve our mission by creating spaces that combine elements of architecture, landscape design, and nature into holistic, authentic experiences. In this way, we hope to elevate the senses and nourish the spirit of our guests.

The human race has caused massive damage to the environment, much of it irreversible. The world is changing at an alarming rate and the majority of scientists are in agreement that climate change is a direct result of human activities. Increasing temperature, deforestation, depletion of natural resources, species extinction, pollution, and waste build-up are just some of the problems resulting from the constantly growing human population. In 2018, the World Wildlife Foundation released its Living Planet report which revealed that a shocking 60% of the planet’s animals, birds, and fish have been killed by human activity since 1970.
