The ILê ASÉ OLUAIYÉ NI OYÁ garden is located in Campo Grande, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro's West Zone. The project stems from the desire to create a community space dedicated to the cultivation of sacred plants used in Candomblé practices. The site was chosen by the members of the yard and two trees, Akoko and Iroko, were planted there.
