May There Be Gardens!

We are excited to invite you to celebrate GRuB's 25th Anniversary with a day of action, community, and impact during our annual build-a-thon event, May There Be Gardens, on May 2, 2026!

Gather your coworkers, friends, or family and join a garden build team to support a family or individual on their food-producing, hunger-reducing journey. Together, all community teams will build 10 gardens in one day!

After the builds, return to the GRuB Farm for a community meal, music, and celebration!
