In the video above you’re able to see just how much a grassroots (literally) organization called Growing Veterans is helping former military service members transition back to civilian life in the greater Bellingham, Washington area.

Basically, they’re teaching them the art of agriculture, and giving them the green thumb’s up in the process.

The organization is centered on teaching veterans how to farm and garden, all the while providing them an intimate community where support and building new relationships — organically — comes with the territory.
