Agritherapy

Our military and veteran population has endured nearly twenty years of sustained combat, returning home with both visible and invisible scars. Recognizing these challenges, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs support programs that use Agricultural Therapy as a form of treatment for Veterans. At Project Victory Gardens, we believe in the power of “dirt therapy”—getting your hands dirty and watching plants grow provides deep reward and renewed purpose for Veterans transitioning from military service. Using small-scale agricultural methods such as raised beds, aquaponics, greenhouses, and companion planting, we teach Veterans how to start their own Project Victory Garden, whether it’s a single pot on a balcony or 100 acres.
