Elysium Gardens is run by Authentic Walk Ministries, a Christian charity dedicated to creating spaces where people can encounter God. Our public offerings provide funding and exposure for our wider ministry, which includes:
We especially support organizations helping people overcome addiction. Those they serve join us to find healing as they connect with the Creator through dirt, sunshine and fresh fruit. We deliberately planted more than 50 varieties of berries and fruit to provide a continual harvest from June through October.
We create quiet places for pastors and others in ministry to seek God. Our classic prayer labyrinth offers a path to release fear and worry, commune with God and then re-enter the world. The cross in the Secret Garden is another peaceful place to pray and seek God’s next steps.
The gardens are connected to our retreat centre next door, where pastors come to find healing during sabbatical and receive full access to pray in the gardens, even outside our public hours.

Spring blossoms, summer berries, golden autumn — a glimpse of the grounds.
Yes! We have a wedding chapel, plus chairs and tables for rent. As a charity, we offer discounts for pastors and missionary kids — and graduates of Freedom’s Door get their wedding for free. Contact us for more options.
Yes. We also have retired pastors on staff and on our board who can help you with that.
No, sorry. We have a dog who lives here — and while he loves people, another dog turning up at his home can stir up some territorial trouble. Please leave your pup at home this time.
Yes! We're a charity — it really doesn't matter. We do need to track a minimum weight for our farm status, so if you think you've eaten more than a pound, feel free to drop in a donation to cover it.
The $20 family ticket includes all your kids. And if you just want to pick berries with a toddler — go for it. They'll rarely eat more than a pound, and you can share a pint between you, with garden admission included either way. We're a charity, and our heart is simply to make spaces where people can enjoy God's creation.
We look forward to welcoming you when the garden reopens in April 2027.
The gates are closed for winter while we prepare the garden for spring.
