About this project
Microgrange - Escondido, CA
The Escondido Microgrange is a microcosm of the Guardian Grange vision to provide community spaces that assist veteran healing and skill building while enriching the local environment with activities that regenerate healthy soil.
This space is strategically planted in the backyard of the West Coast Navy SEAL Teams where our founder served his time, but it's also a space held sacred for helping many veterans find healing through nature, community gatherings, and intimate conversations exploring how veterans can not only help each other, but continue to serve our communities and families with reinvigorated passion for life.
We officially launched this project on March 13th of 2022, however we were laying heavy groundwork for some time before that, and we still have a lot of work cut out for us... but that's all part of the healing journey where work in nature for the good of others is a powerful medicine that helps us become stronger and more resilient as part of a community of like-hearted individuals dedicated to improving ourselves and this world together, one step at a time.
In it's fully operational capacity, our Escondido Microgrange will provide a healing garden for the greater San Diego area, along with community events such as art therapy, and trade skills development that could translate into future jobs.
THE TO-DO LIST
One of the most crucial expenses we need to cover is restoring a collapsed well on the property and setting up a water system so we can irrigate the garden for planting and support lodging for guests and volunteers. This is our current priority on the site and is quoted to cost $25,000 to dig a new well or $50,000 to rebuild the current one.
Other expenses include:
