Happiness held is the seed. Happiness Shared is the flower.

If you're a Veteran who lives in the US and wants to connect with other Veterans who believe in the positive impact of plants, you're in the right place. 


Classes meet the first Sunday of each month at 6pm EST unless otherwise notified. If you register after the 20th of the month, you will automatically be enrolled in the following month.


Each month, you'll get a package in the mail with an activity that we'll unpack together as a team.

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.
