About the competition

The Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Kids Cabbage Program provides third-grade students with a hands-on gardening experience by growing cabbage plants. Each year, Bonnie Plants delivers millions of free cabbage plants to third-grade classes nationwide, allowing students to cultivate their own colossal cabbages. At the end of the growing season, a “best in state” winner is selected from each state to receive a $1,000 scholarship.
