The Community Organic Veggie Garden is Back at the BINKLEYHEALINGCENTER!
In 2015, Dr. Binkley started this project to demonstrate how an abundance of food can be grown in a very small space with minimal water. It garnered a feature article in The Ventura Star, and a Green Business Award from the City of Ventura.
He just planted ninety-five new seedlings on May 9, 2023.
If you’re in the neighborhood, come check out the organic veggies growing right on Main Street.
When fully ripe, the food will be given away to patients, neighbors, and passersby. Now it looks more like this:
Meet Dr. Binkley
Doctor of Chiropractic
Practitioner of Functional Medicine
I was always a good student. Many of my classmates were annoyed that I would frequently achieve relatively high test scores with seemingly minimal effort. It didn’t help that I frequently fell asleep in class. I had a couple of great teachers early on who taught me how to really pay attention to a lecture, and take good notes. But struggling to stay awake in the middle of afternoon classes eventually became a significant concern. One that led me to seek the advice of the smartest, most caring man I knew at the time––my chiropractor, Ed Counselman, DC.
Non-force Chiropractic
Release chronic patterns of tension––from poor posture, minor injuries and stress, forever. No snapping, no cracking, no popping.
Questions are welcomed and encouraged!
