Our Mission.

We are a mental health organization that is dedicated solely to Veterans. Our goal is to introduce and surround Veterans with horticulture as a form of personal healing. Not everything has to be treated with a pill!

  


Ok, so why plants?

Did you know...

It's scientifically proven that working with plants has the ability to reduce symptoms related to stress and anxiety, depression and PTSD? 


Plants can also help to increase your bone strength, cognitive skills, self-esteem and confidence!  


Come learn about how you can care for and nurture plants right in your own home.  


Your plant family is waiting.


You can help.

Your support and contributions will enable us to continue offering Veterans an alternative healing therapy through horticulture. Thank you!

About us.

Plants. They surround us. They're in our food, in the clothes we wear, in the medication we take and even in the buildings around us. Plants are an integral part of all of us. 


Our team is a group of amateur and professional gardeners  that believes in the power of plants. We also  have military ties and a sense of responsibility when it comes to serving those that have served our country for generations.


How we help.

Sometimes you just need a few helping hands. We can help clean up a Veteran's yard and help them discover gardening right outside of their doorstep.
