Native wildflowers growing in one of The Green’s perennial beds

WRIR took a field trip to The Green, the urban park at the Science Museum of Virginia, where we got a tour with SMoVA horticulturist Tyler Holtzman. Tune in to hear about what’s growing, some practices you can incorporate in your own garden this fall, and about the urban (and succession) forests that are underway.

What Wakes Me Up Episode 6 Veterans Tell Their Stories presents:

Friends, to commemorate Veterans Day, 11/11, Episode 6 of What Wakes Me Up features the plight of military veterans in our communities. Two Veterans have cocreated this episode by generously telling their stories; one from the Vietnam War and one from the continuing war in the Middle East.

They independently related facts that are common to both their lives:

  • Sharing their experiences helps other veterans, and themselves.
  • War is just wrong, for so many reasons.
  • The military misrepresented facts to them around enlistment and benefits.
  • Getting help with mental health is difficult, stigmatized and inconsistent.
