Maple Court Veterans Housing Community Garden

We now have images from ONSC’s August 2010 volunteer event at Maple Court Veteran’s Housing facility in Durham, where Club Members came together to build one new community garden, and refurbish another.

Through the generosity and effort of participating members, we were able to build an attractive raised vegetable garden for the Veterans. A wide variety of vegetables were planted, including a large number of greens.

Our Veterans deserve all we can provide, and Maple Court is a wonderful facility located near the Durham VA Hospital that assists our Veterans with their transition back to civilian life. The garden is but one method of providing assistance. Thanks again to all who assisted!

Maple Court is a transitional housing community for homeless veterans. The purpose of the facility is to provide secure, affordable housing with services for veterans who are transitioning from being homeless to self-sufficiency.

As of now, the plan is to construct a raised bed for a community garden.

There are likely some additional projects we will be working on.

I’m waiting on some details from the coordinator as to what they will have and what we need to bring.

Here is a bit more info on Maple Court: Maple Court Veterans Transitional Housing Program

Let me know who is interested/available… target is 10-20 people…if there is a greater turnout – I’ll see about coordinating a 2nd opportunity.

As is customary, we have a discussion thread on ‘Mud to coordinate this event.

Please make every effort to participate in this event.
