Green Planet Sanctuary

As we come out of a month of 100 degree temperatures with no rain, we enter a time of intense winds and area fires destroying both human and wildlife habitat. Oh and still no rain. So maybe this is a good time to talk about a little known oasis in west Houston called Green Planet Sanctuary.



Like a secret garden this place is unlikely to be found without specific directions. It is located just west on Briarforest near the Briarforest /Eldridge intersection. The building is hidden behind Auto Check on the south side of the road.


As you drive through the gate you notice the brightly colored house and gardens. When you step out the place instantly brings peace and calm. Throughout the site you will see intimate little seating areas along with ponds and gardens. For those looking for a massage or facial, that isn't part of some noisy strip mall, then I would highly recommend this place for atmosphere alone.


Along with tranquility they also offer an eclectic array of classes and services. Massages, reflexology, yoga and QiGong to name a few. This fall they are introducing gardening classes to their mix and that is where I, along with Jacqueline D'Elia and Jeannie Dunnihoo step in! So go look at their calendar, sign up for a class and show up early so you can stroll through the gardens!
