Feed The Community

Veteran Garden Project is a grassroots community service project inspired and started by  local veterans that offers opportunities for veterans and families to heal through nature by getting outdoors, connecting with community, learn sustainable living practices, and the skills to grow and harvest food while bringing awareness and finding solutions to local food scarcity and environmental challenges.

Our mission:

It is our mission to support our healing veteran community through cultivating the earth and growing organic food to feed the community while encouraging and supporting stewardship of our precious earth and resources by using best permaculture, organic, and nursery management practices while honoring healthy lifestyles in St. Johns County and our planet.

Garden Sites: Members of the veteran garden project work within the local community using land that has been donated or contracted to the VGP for use to gather and grow. Our team will connect with community donors from around our area to help consult, plan, install, and maintain garden space.
