Root to Rise has supported the creation of the Veterans Victory Gardens Program which was initiated by our veteran intern, Hugh Roberts. The program brings permaculture education to veterans through the design and implementation of gardens created by veterans for veterans. This summer, Hugh Roberts led the first phases of implementation of the first Veterans Victory Garden at the American Legion in Poultney VT. Since then, the Fair Haven legion has approved a program to be design and implemented at their site, and Root to Rise is connecting with the Veterans Farmers Coalition and the new Boulder Point Veteran Housing Project in Plymouth NH to see how our work through the Veterans Victory Gardens Program can support other veteran programs.
