It was so exciting to listen to

Bob Baden, and see and enjoy his passion for the GROW Project.


Bob initiated the GROW Project six months before covid. From delapitated

shells of buildings, to what it is today.


Bob's presentation included a tour of

the facilities, and a "Before and After" video presentation.


Bob emphasized that

ALL GROUND IS COMMON GROUND,

and repeatedly reinforced the

therapeutic nature of digging in

and getting your hands dirty.
