Gathering to Garden
Veteransville is excited to bring you Paula “Shea Queen” Farve and our “Gathering to Garden” event tonight at 6:30 pm at Gulf Coast Training & Education Services, LLC!
We’re working to help Veterans connect to our community and to each other. What a better way to do this than through community and home gardening?!?

See you this evening!
