The following is a beautiful, visual story happening in Englewood about how one Volunteers of America Chicago-area housing development turns to a simple, age-old activity (gardening) to improve the spirits and mental wellbeing of veterans - 30 to 40% of whom are reported to be suffering from mental health issues.
Hope Manor II creates garden plots for their veteran residents and families each year.
