Honoring Maria at Hacienda Borrego
Share
A Story of Loyalty, Heart, and Hospitality in Borrego Springs
Every once in a while, someone gets publicly thanked in a way that says it all. That’s exactly what happened when the owners of Hacienda Borrego shared a heartfelt tribute to Maria—the woman who’s been there since day one.
In their words:
“All she had was our word that when we open, she will always have a place here.”
It’s not often you see this kind of public appreciation in the hospitality world, but when it shows up, it’s worth highlighting.
From Hacienda Borrego:
🙏 Appreciation Post 🙏
"Years ago when we wanted to take on this project, one lady stood beside us and believed in the vision. All she had was our word that when we open, she will always have a place here.
Fast forward to 17 open rooms and many phases of renovation later, there’s still only one Maria. Some of us call her La Jefa, but most know her as Maria.
This lady is the backbone of our daily operations and although we love you @treecircle this one’s for Maria.
Thank you for all you do and being by our side. None of this would be possible without you.
We appreciate you
Fun fact: if you’ve ever stayed with us and seen the paper towel artwork, this is the master behind that as well."

Karla Diaz’s Unity Project returns for a 2026 festival in Borrego Springs with public portrait banners at The Mall, a Unity Walk, and a Community Unity Festival. Karla Diaz’s Unity Project returns to Borrego Springs in 2026 for its third community-responsive activation, continuing a unity-focused effort she launched in 2024. The project combines a community run/walk, public programming, and painting with the goal of creating safe spaces for healing, art, and collective storytelling. After a year-long residency, research, and a series of community-led workshops, the Unity Project culminates in three core components: a community run/walk event, two public portrait banners inspired by Diaz’s interactions and workshops, and an exhibition of her watercolor works on paper. Diaz’s work centers narrative, identity, and memory as a way to generate collaboration and dialogue among diverse communities.
