It's the people that make it special
Giant pumpkin growing isn't just about the pumpkins — it's about the friendships, the shared knowledge, and the community that welcomes everyone.
I grew my first 500-pounder this year after following the beginner guides. The community here helped me every step of the way!
Been growing giants for 30 years. This site finally puts all the knowledge in one place. Wish I had this when I started!
Found my local club through the directory. Now I have a whole group of friends who get just as excited about pumpkins as I do.
