Chilly mornings at the allotment are just a blast! Our veterans truly enjoyed every minute of building raised beds. Who doesn't love a little frostbite while gardening? And guess what? Not a single pinky was cut! πŸ˜‚πŸŒ± #gardening #mentalhealth #Veterans #mcngcic

Myself and JC put in some serious effort resetting those large heavy slabsβ€”let's just say there were plenty of laughs at JC's expense! Meanwhile, Pops jumped right into assembling the new raised beds. youtu.be/Cf7D7r2-bvQ?si=KEOI… #mcngcic #HorticulturalTherapy #CommunityGardening

Just your average day at the horticultural therapy allotment project: a ton of manure delivered and our veterans are ready to "dig in"! Who knew therapy could smell this good? Remember, folks, every flower needs a little fertilizer... and a lot of laughter! πŸ˜„πŸŒΌ #VeteransInNature

Kicked off the day with a delicious breakfast of bacon cobs and brews, accompanied by plenty of banter! πŸ˜„ We tackled the challenge of moving a shed, and let’s just say there was a bit of swearing and cursing involved. youtu.be/8fOq5pjh8Zo?si=FwW2… #mcngcic #Horticultural #Veterans

Sweet peas are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients? They are a great source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Add some sweet peas to your meals for a boost of nutrition and color! 🌿🌸 #SweetPeas #Nutrition #HealthyEating #mcngcic

Today, we honour and remember the brave heroes who landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, during WWII. As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, let us never forget the courage and selflessness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. #DDay80 #LestWeForget

Hiking provides an opportunity to connect with nature, improve cardiovascular fitness, reduce stress, and strengthen both physical and mental well-being. Or come and just take the Michael out of each other, nothing like military banta πŸ˜‰
