Meet the Man who Grew a Sacred Living Temple in New Zealand! [1]

Meet Brian Cox, a man who has has grown and created a living tree-church in his own backyard in New Zealand… If that wasn’t special enough, would you believe that he did it in only 4 years?!

Being very careful about his selection, Brian crafted his sacred space out of some very specific trees in a very wide variety to capture the perfect vibe. He used some trunks that are stone-colored to emanate a “classic stone church” feel, as well as some others that have a very light amount of foliage, ensuring that the space would always be very well luminated, and not drowned out in shadow.

His secret? Brian is actually a professional gardener, who has spent many years building a gardening company called Treelocations, which replant very large trees using gigantic mechanical spades. With this technology, it allowed him to plant the live trees in any way he desired, completing the church in only 4 years.
