Gardens for Health

Fruits and vegetables go a long way when it comes to preventing health problems. That’s why one health care center in Montgomery County is making a difference in the health of its low-income patients with a new take on health care.

This in turn provides moderate exercise, helping to boost overall health even more. Read more about how the Farmacy Garden works the Roanoke Times website.
