A Pop-Up Picnic - Hosted by Spruce and Gander- Client Appreciation Event - August 14th, Noon- 4 P.M.
2022-08-14 12:00 - 16:00 | Rancho Guejito, 17224 San Pasqual Valley Rd, Escondido, CA, 92027, United States
You’re Invited
August 14, 2022, Noon – 4pm
Hosted by Spruce & Gander
Rancho Guejito 17224 San Pasqual Valley Rd, Escondido, CA 92027
Be Our Guest
Come join us for a relaxing escape into 23,000 acres of scenic groves and vineyards of historical Rancho Guejito. At this family-friendly event, enjoy live music, lawn games, and hayride tours through the ranch while being serenaded by the music of an acoustic guitar. Lunch is on us; we will have gourmet pizzas baked in a wood fire oven. While you picnic, take in the outdoors, sip the afternoon away with refreshments, and host organic wine tastings.
An ASLA Partnered Event
Spruce & Gander has partnered with our local ASLA Chapter in San Diego to spread the word about our Popup Picnic. The first of its kind will surely become an annual tradition. As a trade show alternative, for those who perhaps can’t make it to the ASLA EXPO held in San Francisco, you will view our products firsthand while basking in the sun and connect in person with clients and friends at this incredible outdoor treasure. A client appreciation event.
A Rich History
Read more about what makes Rancho Guejito so special here , or click here for a direct link to our RSVP
On September 20, 1845, Jose Maria Orozco, a customs agent, boarded his horse-drawn wagon and headed north from Old Town San Diego to what is now Valley Center to claim a piece of land covering three square leagues, approximately 13,298 acres.
In 1845, California was not a part of the United States. It was still a distant province of Mexico. The property was a land grant to Orozco from Pio Pico, the Mexican Provincial Governor.
Pio Pico had handed out similar vast parcels to other friends and patrons. It was one of 800 so-called Mexican Land Grant ranches awarded during a romantic period of history known as the “Days of the Dons.” Orozco named the place Rancho Guejito.
Untouched by time, the property has been described as a ranch “that cattlemen see only in their dreams” and a place “where the old west is alive and well.” A rancher who ran cattle on the site for decades declared, “This is where the asphalt ends and the Old West begins.” The ranch has grown over the years from its original historic size of 13,298 acres to approximately 23,000 (36 square miles). The largest single addition came in 1940 when the adjoining Maxcy Vineyard Ranch at 4,500 acres was annexed to Guejito. The most recent acquisition was the purchase of the equally historic 100-acre Rockwood Ranch in 2006. The Rockwood farmhouse, built in the early 1890’s by Bernard B. Rockwood, is now the location for Rancho Guejito Vineyard’s Tasting room.

Fall Lecture - Wet + Dry: Landscapes of Resilience and Material Exploration
2023-09-28 17:30 - 20:30 | Coronado Club Room and Boathouse, 1985 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Fall Lecture – Wet + Dry: Landscapes of Resilience and Material Exploration
Speaker, Roderick Wyllie, is a Principal with Surfacedesign, a landscape architecture and urban design firm based in San Francisco.

This internationally award-winning practice focuses on creating dynamic parks, campuses, plazas, waterfronts, civic landscapes and private gardens. The firm’s approach emphasizes and celebrates the unique context and imaginative potential of each project. The studio’s design process is rooted in asking novel questions and listening to a site and its users – a process that has led to engaging and inspiring landscapes that are rugged, contemporary, and crafted.
Increasingly, water has become a central focus of all landscape interventions. Holistic, systems-based design thinking that actively engages water extremes—from drought to flooding/sea level rise— is at the core of Surfacedesign’s practice. Challenging the formal manifestations of municipal guidelines and standards for water management, each project engages water as an integral design element. Roderick will share a range of work from the residential to the infrastructural. These works celebrate water systems and explore how planting, topography and cultural narratives can reinforce water resiliency.
