Following the Vietnam War and the Laotian Civil War, Hmoob began seeking asylum in the United States as political refugees. Groundswell Conservancy has partnered with the Southeast Asian Healing center to support the population of HMoob (Hmong) elders in their community who are living with PTSD by providing access to gardening, a therapeutic antidote to PTSD, depression, and dementia. Gardening as a group reduces social isolation. Being able to feed the family contributes to a sense of worth and gets people out in nature. The Conservancy is hosting 12 HMoob elders growing on 1 1/2 acres of land. They are providing a shade structure, a porta potty, two picnic tables, taxi transportation, water access, land, springland preparation, hand tools and gardening supplies, and safety supervision during program operation at Westport Farm.
