A VetREST sponsored Therapeutic Horticulture session, this one with participants making floral arrangements
So far in 2026, the VetREST Therapeutic Horticulture series has helped bring the healing power of working and tending the land to Veterans in the Portland Metro area.
Our facilitated monthly 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 coaching for a limited number of participants. Our individualized coaching program takes healing and connection to the next level, providing in need Veterans with guidance and comraderie from another Veteran with lived experience.
With the generous support of the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA), this one-year program is free to all Veterans.
