Joint Ex Service Veterans Garden

About

The Joint Ex Service Veterans Garden is a garden complex located in Hamilton South Lanarkshire. It is open to veterans from all services. A small cohort maintain the garden and grow mostly vegetables, (potatos, leeks, carrots, strawberries, tomatos, chillie, cucumbers etc), that are distributed to veterans and the elderly when ready. We have a large polytunnel and 10 raised gardens, 3 of which are in the polytunnel,. Once vegetabls are planted to chores are mostly watering and weeding the beds. We have a small cafe with a toilet where visitors can have a cuppa of their choice and talk to other veterans. The garden is also a drop in location for visitors who wish some solitude in a quiet place. Visitors are not required to work, but can if they wish to.
