Our Mission
Our mission is to harness the therapeutic power of gardening to provide veterans with a peaceful, productive environment for rehabilitation and personal growth. We believe in creating a space where veterans can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially, helping them to transition smoothly back into civilian life.
Wellness
Whole-Health is the goal of Project GROW. Through tower gardening, education and activities for physical, mental, spiritual, nutritional, and financial strengthening are included throughout the gardening season. Strengthen relationships that are safe and community oriented.
Impact on Veterans
Veterans participating in Project GROW experience a range of benefits, including improved mental health, increased physical activity, and enhanced social connections. Our program also aims to reduce isolation by fostering a sense of purpose and community involvement.
