Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, Miami

About Patch of Heaven Sanctuary

Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is a 20-acre nature preserve in Miami where visitors explore restored forest, native habitats, and a Zen garden with koi pond through self-guided paths or guided tours. The sanctuary features eight native butterfly species housed in a 5,000-square-foot butterfly house, an active bee apiary, 500 cacao trees, and a sensory garden. Visitors experience the world's first Mindful Pocket Park, designed around the practice of P.A.W.S.—Pay Attention With Your Senses—using sight, sound, scent, touch, and taste to anchor focus during meditation and forest bathing. The grounds include a 123-year-old Old Growth Forest and a historic Matheson Home. Public retreats combine guided meditation, yoga, and mindful walks through tropical hardwood hammocks. Guided historical tours and VIP garden tours are available by appointment. The sanctuary suits visitors seeking nature-based wellness experiences and contemplative spaces away from digital distractions. Located in the Redland area of Miami-Dade County, Patch of Heaven operates Wednesday through Sunday with both day passes and guided tour options available through online ticketing.
