Why the Dream?

I've dreamed of creating this space since my kids were little, but life had other plans—until now.

In 2021, we took a leap and purchased these 4 acres to finally bring this vision to life. The land had been abandoned for over thirty years, swallowed by thorns, brambles, and piles of forgotten rubbish. No one wanted to take it on. Maybe people had lost their drive—their enthusiasm—their energy for transformation.

But I saw something different. I saw possibility.

Why the Park?

Because I love kids, animals, and gardening. Because I have an insatiable passion for art, baking, and boundless creativity that I can’t help but share!

Studio Ark Hive is being built for families—especially children. A place that sparks adventure, fuels imagination, and invites magical moments. A whimsical wonderland where laughter echoes, creativity flourishes, and every visit brings a new discovery.

We can’t wait to bring this dream to life and celebrate with you at our GRAND OPENING!

🌿 Stay Tuned! Call or email for updates—we can’t wait to welcome you!
