IN 2024-2025, WE BUILT 37 NEW HOME GARDENS, 3 COMMUNITY GARDENS, AND SUPPORTED 121 PEOPLE THROUGH 8 COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS. 100% OF THE GRUB GARDENERS WHO RESPONDED TO POST-SEASON SURVEYS REPORTED THEY PARTIALLY OR FULLY MET GARDENING GOALS!FROM THE VOICE OF A GRUB GARDEN RECIPIENT - "I WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT GRUB BUILT ME A GARDEN BED THIS YEAR! THE TEAM THAT CAME OUT TO BUILD THE BED WERE SO FRIENDLY AND HARD-WORKING. IT WAS FUN AND MADE ME FEEL CONFIDENT TO HELP THEM WITH THE BUILD. I GOT SEVERAL STARTS AND SEEDS FROM GRUB TOO. MY GARDEN IS REALLY THRIVING. THIS IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST AMBITIOUS GARDEN THAT I'VE ATTEMPTED AND WITH THE HELP AND RESOURCES FROM GRUB, IT'S DOING GREAT! SO FAR, I'VE MADE PESTO AND LOTS OF SALADS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BORSCHT AND DOING SOME FERMENTING AND CANNING SOON."2024 GRUB GARDEN RECIPIENT.GRUB'S VETERAN PROGRAMMING OFFERS HANDS-ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR VETERANS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND DEVELOP SKILLS IN SUSTAINABLE SMALL-SCALE URBAN AGRICULTURE, BEEKEEPING CERTIFICATIONS, AND FOOD PRODUCTION.

I MET SO MANY LOVELY LADIES WHO UNDERSTOOD THE VALUE OF NATURE AND GIVING BACK TO IT. GRUB IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH SUCH A PEACEFUL AMBIANCE AND GARDEN. I CREDIT THIS EXPERIENCE WITH FINALLY HAVING THE COURAGE TO CRACK MY OWN HIVE OPEN AND DIVE IN! THE EXCITEMENT FOR BEEKEEPING FROM THE LADIES OF GRUB WAS INFECTIOUS! I GOT A CHANCE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER WOMEN INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE BUT I ALSO SHARED A COMMON BACKGROUND WITH THEM DUE TO OUR MILITARY SERVICE. BEING A FEMALE VETERAN CAN BE ISOLATING AND THIS OPPORTUNITY HELPED TO IGNITE MY PASSION FOR AGRICULTURE ALL OVER AGAIN. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY FEMALE VETERANS WITH AN INTEREST IN GARDENING, BEEKEEPING, OR JUST CONNECTING WITH THE PEACE OF GRUB AND OTHER VETERANS."APPRENTICE BEEKEEPER.
