Help bring Honor Garden to life

Honor Garden is open to all Veterans, Active Duty Military and residents of the communities where they are located.  The vision of Honor Garden is simple: creating spaces where Veterans, Military and their families and friends can heal from traumas that often lead to isolation, drug or alcohol abuse, and suicide while finding the camaraderie of being with others who have a greater understanding of their experiences. Our gardens also offer them the healing from working with the soil growing healthy food for themselves and their communities. In addition, by having the gardens open to members of the local communities, Veterans can begin the process of reintegrating into society.  Honor Garden also offers kids programs that help build strong purpose for Veteran and Active Duty Military children as a way to channel emotions while dealing with loss of a parent or loved one.

Honor Gardens is committed to providing programs to assist Veterans both within and outside the VA that can be replicated across the Country. Studies have shown that working with the soil and growing living plants are extremely therapeutic for veterans suffering from war-related disorders, Honor Garden programs and projects will help to provide that healing. Honor Garden's innovative "Honor Box" drop-ship program distributes fresh vegetables to Veterans in the most needs category with a hope of eliminating Veteran hunger and suicide.  

The added advantage to better equipping, educating and supporting Garden programs is helping fill the gap of the much needed agriculture dependency of America's finest.  Recent studies show that America is in need of a million new farmers in order to maintain the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables.  Honor Gardens education and awareness programs help to provide Veterans with various employment opportunities in sustainable agriculture.

Our core programs are rooted in the adage that "it is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in war." (source unknown) from which we layer on additional horticultural therapy and holistic wellness programs that first and foremost serve Veterans and equip them with a sustainable food source so that they can thrive in the communities they have so honorably served.
