So far in 2026, the VetREST Therapeutic Horticulture Series has brought the healing power of working and tending the land to Veterans in the Portland Metro area. Our facilitated regular activities bring together the seasonality of garden work and its parallels to personal growth.

Each session, carefully designed for accessibility, will connect participants with the power of land tending and working with plants and their metaphorical connections to healing and growth.

Our goal is to provide those who have served our country with a deeper understanding of how the land can support them and their communities to find a greater peace within. In addition to our regular program, VetREST is also offering one-on-one mentorship for a limited number of participants.

Our individualized mentorship program takes healing and connection to the next level, providing Veterans with guidance and camaraderie from another Veteran with lived experience.
