Organization Mission

Heroic Gardens is a Pennsylvania-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, established in 2018, dedicated to connecting U.S. Veterans, their caregivers, and family members with the healing power of plants and nature through trauma-responsive, community-driven therapeutic horticulture programs. The organization’s mission is to help Veterans and their families grow healthier, more connected lives through the incorporation of plants and nature. Given the high prevalence of trauma, PTSD, and elevated suicide risk among Veterans, there is a clear need for complementary, accessible, non-pharmacological interventions that support mental health, stress reduction, social reconnection, and sense of purpose. Evidence indicates that horticultural therapy and other nature-based interventions may deliver meaningful reductions in stress, depression, and PTSD-related symptoms, and may enhance protective factors — such as community connection, physical activity, grounding, and resilience.
