Project EverGreen’s mission is to raise the awareness of the environmental, economic and lifestyle benefits of landscapes and promote the significance of those who preserve and enhance green spaces at home, work and play.


As a show of appreciation for the GreenCare for Troops public service initiative, a soldier recently hung the Project Evergreen banner from former Iraqi Prime Minister Saddam Hussein’s palace. The soldier, who prefers to remain anonymous, wanted to bring attention to GreenCare for Troops and its mission to connect local lawn and landscape firms with military families who need help while their family members are serving our country in the armed forces.

“Our hats off to everyone in the green industry who is volunteering to help these families,” said Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen.

“Every family receiving service through GreenCare for Troops is so thankful for your efforts. We have more than 1,900 families enrolled so far, and if you haven’t already volunteered, we could sure use your help as there are still areas where we have not been able to find a match for families.”

According to Gardner, the GreenCare for Troops program is available at no charge. Participating contractors will receive a kit with information on how to get the most out of this service provided to our armed forces families. Its centerpiece is a special “MissionKit,” complete with marketing and promotional materials as well as a business blueprint for efficiently launching the program in local markets.

For more details about the GreenCare for Troops program, including participation details and information on how to receive the special MissionKit access the Project EverGreen website at www.projectevergreen.comor call toll-free (877) 758-9135.
