Tuskegee University Cooperative Extension Program (TUCEP) established the first community garden at the CAVHCS campus managed entirely by veterans. The garden has created many new opportunities for veterans to learn new skills, including vegetable production, pest management, soil fertility, and harvesting. Participants will hear about the establishment of the garden, challenges and opportunities encountered along the way, and the impact it has had on the CAVHCS community. Following this discussion, participants will visit the veterans’ community garden at the Tuskegee campus of the CAVHCS and enjoy a tour led by veterans.
