Park View, D.C.

Start of the 2012 AFRH Garden season.

Yesterday, the new Friends of the Soldiers Home Website announced the Soldiers’ Home Garden Project would have a second season. According to the announcement space is limited. The number of volunteers will be determined by the number of AFRH residents interested in gardening.

Last year’s gardening experience was unbelievable. Not only was working with the retired soldiers rewarding, but being on the grounds of the AFRH was very Zen-like. It was very easy to forget that one was still in the middle of a major urban environment.

Lastly — and as stated on the Friends Website — whether you would be new to the program or returning from last year, you must express an interest by e-mailing Carrie Green by no later than Wednesday, March 27 at gardenerofsoldiers @ gmail.com Carrie is the coordinator of the garden project for Friends of the Soldiers Home. Additional details are located on the Friends Website.
