A 501(c)3 Non-Profit — Africatown, Mobile, Alabama
Visualize everyone that serves, one garden at a time.
We create memorial gardens and agricultural centers that honor veterans by partnering them with the communities they served — starting in the historic community of Africatown.
Our Mission
Gardens that memorialize each community's greatest assets and heroes.
Our vision is to create gardens in suburban and urban communities with an emphasis on memorial gardens that honor veterans. By partnering veterans with local communities, we build agricultural centers where mental health is a top priority and individuals can access the resources they need to achieve optimal well-being.
We work alongside partners like Mobile County Training School Alumni Association, STEMMing The Tide, Gulf Coast RC&D, Bishop State Community College, Tuskegee University, Mobile Urban Garden Growers, VETS Recover, and Wholestic Wellness to carry this community project across the finish line.
