Our Mission is to document and share the art of high-desert resilience. Nature’s Vessel serves as a digital community hub for the residents of Rio Grande Estates and the Veguita area. We are dedicated to the pursuit of self-sufficiency through permaculture gardening, water harvesting, and off-grid innovation. By sharing our local successes, failures, and resources, we aim to green the Llano and empower a thriving, independent community of artists, builders, and growers.
