Veterans Community Garden

“A garden is not just a garden. It’s far beyond our understanding. It’s a safe place, an activity that can contribute beyond medicine in the field of mental health.”

Most everyone agrees that we should thank our men and women who serve in the military.  But rather than just thank them, the Veterans Community Garden will help to offer health and peace by providing a place to garden or the means to start their own home gardens with their families.

Veterans bring the following attributes and characteristics to the workplace:

• Proven leadership and leadership readiness 

• Mission-focused approach to work

• Experience working in diverse teams and organizations 

• Adaptable and immediate contributors

• Strong work ethics 

• Strong performance under pressure

• Creative problem-solving

• Self-starter

• Integrity
