In Love & Purpose
About Us
Petals of Hope is a purpose-driven social enterprise at Where 2 Or More Gather—a boutique flower farm overlooking the San Pasqual Valley, in Escondido, North San Diego County, in Southern California. We host intimate garden weddings and creative gatherings alongside a flower-forward boutique and mobile café experience. Every celebration helps fund trauma-informed programs that support survivors of trafficking and abuse, and strengthen prevention efforts—turning beauty into impact, and gatherings into new beginnings.

OUR MISSION
Petals of Hope at Where 2 Or More Gather — in Love & Purpose exists to create beauty with impact through purpose-driven garden gatherings. Through our flower-forward experiences, mobile café service, creative workshops, and intimate celebrations, we generate sustainable support for trauma-informed care and pathways to stability for those rebuilding after exploitation, abuse, and crisis. Every bouquet, every cup, and every gathering helps fund prevention, restoration, and empowerment—so hope isn’t a moment, it becomes a measurable new beginning.
OUR VISION
We envision a future where the wedding and events industry becomes a powerful force for good—where celebration is also protection, community, and restoration. Petals of Hope will be a nationally recognized model of a mission-led social enterprise: a place known for intimate gatherings and celebrations with purpose, that transform into real outcomes—safe support, healing-centered experiences, workforce pathways, and long-term housing solutions through Tiny Homes of Hope. Our vision is a growing network of partners who choose love with purpose, proving that what we celebrate can help change what’s possible.
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE MODEL
Weddings and events hosted at our garden are not separate from our mission — they make it possible.
Revenue generated through our garden weddings, micro weddings, and community events directly supports:
-
Crisis stabilization and safe housing initiatives
-
Trauma-informed creative retreats and vocational pathways
-
Legal advocacy, prevention education, and survivor support services
This model allows us to reduce reliance on grants, build long-term sustainability, and steward donor resources responsibly.
