Our story.

Where it began

Canggu's last green oasis.

Jiwa Garden is a community permaculture garden in Tumbak Bayuh, Canggu, with a café, a daily garden tour, workshops and events.

Development is spreading across Canggu's coast and ricefields, and Jiwa is one of the last green spaces left. Members, visitors and neighbours keep it alive.
