Discovering Tranquility: A Visit to Patch of Heaven Sanctuary

Nestled in the heart of Miami's Redland area, Patch of Heaven Sanctuary offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. This 20-acre protected forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts, mindfulness seekers, and those looking to reconnect with the natural world.

Give yourself plenty of time to explore the gardens, as the grounds are vast and offer a serene atmosphere you'll want to fully immerse yourself in.

Upon entering the sanctuary, visitors are greeted by old-growth tropical hammocks, peaceful paths, and historic structures that tell tales of the past. The lush landscapes are home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, making it a paradise for botanists and wildlife observers alike.

A unique highlight of the sanctuary is the world’s first Mindful Pocket Park. Created to foster relaxation and alleviate anxiety, this space invites visitors to experience the "Nature Pill" by engaging their senses—sight, sound, scent, touch, and taste—allowing them to fully connect with the present moment.
