The beautiful VA campus is over 150 acres and we can always use help! Opportunities for you or your service group can include: adopting a flower bed, assist with watering, weeding, designing and planting the gardens for the Veterans and families to enjoy. Outdoor opportunities are seasonal(April to October), but we have a wonderful greenhouse for the offseason. Water the plants, do a special program for Veterans in wheelchairs, trim the plants, etc. If you have a green thumb, or just want to have one, get in touch!
