Our plans for the garden!

The Veterans Garden of Augusta is growing from the ideas and voices of local veterans. Through our ongoing survey, we’ve learned that many of you want a place not only to garden, but also to learn new things like beekeeping, mushroom cultivation and food preservation. So, we listened. We’ve teamed up with some amazing local folks who will help us make those dreams real. Soon, the garden will have space for growing food, caring for bees, and learning about mushrooms and preserving our harvests all built around connection, learning, and a little bit of peace. Check out our blog to meet the new partners helping us bring these plans to life. 

BEE keeping

Working with bees gives veterans a chance to slow down, focus, and connect with nature in a calm, rewarding way.

mushrooms

Learning to grow mushrooms helps veterans explore patience, creativity, and the quiet magic of how life grows beneath the surface.

food preservation 

Learning food preservation through canning, dehydrating, and eventually freeze-drying, helps veterans reconnect with self-reliance and turning hard-earned harvests into nourishment that lasts.

Veterans Garden of Augusta Co. operates as a program of Salute of Virginia, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-1617287), enabling us to carry out our mission under their nonprofit status. Donations are processed through Salute of Virginia and are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
