Veterans Garden of Augusta

09/02/2026

We have come a long way in a short time! There is a great group of Veterans that have already come together to connect and grow, and we'd love for you to join us! We want to continue our mission of reaching those who are looking for a purpose and find a home in the garden.

As we come up on almost a year of progress, we invite all local Veterans to participate in our short survey so that we can continue to create a space for everyone, together. All responses will be anonymous.

To our partners and community supports, thank you for all that you have done to help us grow into where we are today!

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey! We are always growing and learning together, and our goal is to make this a fulfilling space for all Veterans and their families. We can't do that without your voice. All responses are collected anonymously, unless you choose to provide your name...

The Veterans Garden was always meant to be more than just a place to grow vegetables. It’s a place for veterans and their families to connect, relax, learn, and spend time together.

So we’re opening the door to ideas.

Do you have a small veterans D&D group that needs a place to meet? Want to teach a yoga or need space for a fitness class? Enjoy painting, birdwatching, reading, photography, or even flying kites? If it can fit in the garden, we’d love to talk about making it happen.

Our goal is to make this a shared community space where veterans can build friendships around whatever hobbies or interests they enjoy. If you need support to make it happen we might be able to help!

We’re also starting to build a network of local veterans, so if you have a group, class, or activity you’d like to share, we can help spread the word through the garden and this page.

If you have an idea, send us a DM or text (540) 280-5454 and let’s chat. We’d love to hear what you have in mind!

A huge thank you to Cherry Grove Nursery for their generous donation to the Veterans Garden of Augusta!

They donated a ton of Echinacea pallida (pale purple coneflowers) and Anise Hyssop, also known as native hummingbird mint. These beautiful native plants will help support pollinators, attract wildlife, and add even more life and color to our garden.

Our goal is to incorporate as many native plants as possible throughout the garden, and generous donations like this help bring life.

We are grateful for Cherry Grove Nursery’s support and for helping us create a space that benefits both our community and the local ecosystem.

Thank you!

Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor the men and women who lost their lives in military service. While Veterans Day celebrates those who served, Memorial Day is set aside for those who never made it home.

The Veterans Garden of Augusta is not a memorial. Our focus is on serving and supporting the living, but we know that days like today can bring reflection, gratitude, memories, and sometimes grief.

If you need a quiet place to sit for a while, take a walk, think about someone you miss, or simply enjoy a little peace, the gate is always unlocked and you are always welcome.

Take a moment today to remember those who gave everything for our country.

Huge thank you!! to Kjellstrom + Lee Construction for donating the pavers and blocks we needed for the handicap accessible walkways out to the raised beds at the Veterans Garden of Augusta.

This is going to make a big difference for veterans, volunteers, and community members who come out to the garden, and we really appreciate the support.

Community projects like this only happen because people and businesses are willing to step up and help. Thank you for investing back into the community and helping us continue to grow.
