Spirit House



Click on the spirit house for a larger view.

This bamboo and thatch spirit house is located at a focal point at the top of the stairs that lead up to the lanikai green house. In ancient Thai tradition there are seven Guardians of the Land. The Guardian of the Gardens is said to live in a spirit house and will watch over and protect the natural surroundings, yards, gardens and orchards of the family.

Jim discovered and old piece of coral in the garden. It has been cleaned and placed as an offering to any spirits that may live in this house.
