Sacred Earth Edible Landscaping Initiative

Connecting to Nature's Abundance

The Sacred Earth Initiative is a mission driven by a profound respect for the Earth and a vision of a future where every community can access the nourishing bounty of nature. We operate in Benzie County, Michigan and throughout the greater Northwest Lower Michigan region, offering transformative services that inspire and empower individuals to reconnect with the natural world.

Our Mission: Healing, Preserving, and Empowering

We believe the Earth is a sacred place, and that by consciously converting lawns, vacant lots, and farms into diversified ecosystems of edible and medicinal plants, we can:

• Preserve and protect the vital elements that sustain us: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.
• Promote social and environmental transformation through accessible, low-maintenance landscapes.
• Empower individuals and communities to take ownership of their food and medicine through practical workshops and consultations.
