A ONE OF A KIND, werrrrrrld class FULL circle art studio and gallery - welcoming people back to our globally unique temperate rainforest nature sanctuary (IISAAK in the Garden) along extraordinary tidal mudflats and Important Bird Migratory route... (laying it on too thick? naah just facts;)

Whats renewed....? who among you fell in love with these gardens 20 years ago while simultaneously falling in love with Chef Lisa's culinary arts (wild salmon chowder and polenta fries anyone??) and who among you are about to discover this dynamic trio for the first time??

Much gratitude and alllllll are welcome!

Our new Welcome Centre and Full Circle Art Studio, at the Naa'Waya'Sum Gardens, is intimately connected (via our taste buds!) with the culinary arts of Chef Lisa from Sobo's who's creations are so near by we can smell whats on the menu daily...

Also, big respect to Hotel Zed for publishing this important little book "IISAAK in The Garden" which pretty much nails our philosophy at Naa'Waya'Sum and shines a light on the recent history in Clayoquot Sound which has been core to our broader work at the Clayoquot Campus.. great job!

Kleckooooo Klecko!
