News and Information from We Honor Veterans » Heroic Gardens and Angelic Health’s Women’s Vet-to-Vet Café Partner to Demonstrate Healing Powers of Plants to Veterans

Heroic Gardens and Angelic Health’s Women’s Vet-to-Vet Café Partner to Demonstrate Healing Powers of Plants to Veterans

A story from our Hospice Partner

Angelic Health, West Atlantic City, NJ

Collie Turner, Founder and Owner of Heroic Gardens, partnered with Angelic Health’s Women’s Vet-to-Vet Café members to demonstrate plants’ healing powers to Veterans. She led them in an educational and stress-reducing activity about sowing their plants. Collie started Heroic Gardens out of a familial connection with the military and a deep appreciation for the power of nature. Once she became aware of the staggering numbers of Veterans struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, she founded Heroic Gardens to guide Veterans through their healing process. Heroic Gardens has partnered with women Veterans to organize an event in the South Jersey area. Keep a look out for updates on this upcoming event! If you would like to know more about them, check out their website: https://heroicgardens.org/

Angelic Health offers comprehensive Palliative, Transitional, Hospice, Memory Care, and TeleHealth services to patients, including Veterans. They proudly serve Veterans within their communities as a Level 4 We Honor Veterans institution. They have Hospice Care offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
