Helping Vets Cope with PTSD: A Journey to Healing

Hello! I'm Duane, the founder and writer behind Semper Foliage. As a nature enthusiast, plant lover, writer, and veteran, I'm passionate about sharing the beauty and benefits of the plant world with others.

My Story

As a veteran of USMC, I've experienced the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life. Living with PTSD has been a significant part of my journey, and I've found solace in the calming effects of nature. Plants, in particular, has become a source of comfort and purpose. The touch of soil, the vibrant colors, and the sense of growth and renewal all help to calm my mind and lift my spirits.

Why I Started Semper Foliage

I created Semper Foliage to combine my love of plants, writing, and helping others. I believe that everyone deserves access to the healing power of plants, regardless of their background or circumstances. By sharing my experiences, and resources, I hope to inspire others to explore the world of botany and support our heroes – veterans struggling with mental health challenges, just like me.
