The HEP Empowerment Garden is always growing new crops and experimenting with different growing techniques. This season, the team tried the Three Sisters method of companion planting by growing corn, beans, and squash together to support healthy growth naturally. The first batch of corn is ready to harvest, and it’s a beautiful variety of purple corn. The beans are climbing the corn stalks now, and we should start seeing those come in soon, followed by Seminole pumpkins! Be sure to follow along as we continue sharing the garden’s progress. 🌽
At the Homeless Empowerment Program (HEP) our purpose is to break the cycle of homelessness. Since 1986, our mission has been to provide homeless and low-income individuals and families, including veterans, with housing, food, clothing and support services necessary to obtain self-sufficiency and improved quality of life. We offer housing and programs specifically designed for single men and women, families with children and U.S. veterans.
