Local volunteers are bringing their green thumbs to the Lee Crossley Veterans Community in Temple on Saturday in an effort to construct a âhealing gardenâ for its residents.
âThe garden will be wheelchair accessible with raised beds and will be a place of tranquility that will provide our veterans with healthy eating,â Amber Kelley, a city of Temple stormwater program specialist, said in a news release.
Organizers also noted how 10 six-foot oak trees will be planted on the property.
The event â organized by the city of Temple Stormwater Program and Keep Temple Beautiful â will draw additional assistance from Citizens for Progress, the Un-Included Club and area Scout Troops, according to the release.
