Food Forest Installation Update [Deer Attack] at Meditation Mount - Ojai, CA | Phase O

Watch Now!

Hi Friend

We uploaded a quick 5 minute update video on the Meditation Mount Food Forest project to our YouTube channel! Watch it here: https://youtu.be/jwJ9GQqXkUI

Some of our young trees suffered a "vicious deer attack" ...that's some mild sarcasm, fyi. They'll make a full recovery, but it is something we're addressing by adapting to our environment, and reinforcing our deer defences so our food forest can thrive.

Adapting and thriving is an ongoing part of working with nature, and one person's problem can be another's therapy with the right perspective! This embodies the "work therapy" philosophy that is driving our mission forward to help veterans mental health through restorative work in nature and regenerative community development.

Since our last video update, we added 2 Fuyu Persimmon trees, 2 semi-dwarf navel oranges, 2 semi-dwarf valencia oranges, 1 algerian tangerine, 2 white guava and 3 apple cactus, bringing out total to 30 fruit-bearing trees planted so far on this project.

If you have a few minutes to watch and leave a comment under the YouTube video, it will help us with engagement and improving our future content as we grow! I'm sure there's some things we can improve with our videos, so please feel free to leave some constructive criticism in the comments.This is a community effort after all😉

On that note, be sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel so you stay updated with the latest on this project and others. Subscribing is an easy way to help us reach more people and expand our work.

If you happened to miss our last email, this "Phase 0" food forest installation is the first component of our "farm-to-table" garden project to benefit school children, and families in the Ojai Valley.

The space will also be used to host garden meditation & mindfulness events for veterans as well as providing opportunities for volunteers to serve the community in support of this project.

We're on a mission to shift food production that supports more locally focused, biodiverse, regenerative ecosystems that reverse the damage of pesticides and pollutants while supporting the health and welfare of families for generations to come with nutritious food as medicine.

It's our method of service to live as good stewards of the lands, keeping our soil healthy and nurturing a growing Soil Based Economy.

If you'd like to support our mission, you can find more information on how to donate and volunteer on our website https://www.GuardianGrange.org

Thank you for reading, and feel free to forward this message to anyone who may be interested.

Talk soon,

Mark
