This 6-hour workshop is designed for current military personnel, veterans and spouses. Research shows that exposure to nature and gardening has been shown to improve mental health outcomes for veterans. This workshop will explore the following: 

1. Career options for veterans and opportunities to learn about how TN AgrAbility Project can assist veterans. 

2. Hands-on gardening/horticulture activities that can help assist veterans when starting a career in horticulture/agriculture. 

3. Opportunities to network with other veterans with similar interests. 

This program is in partnership with Appalachian Sustainable Development.
