Local Student Grows Giant Cabbage

May 25, 2017

Savannah Hudson, who just finished the third grade at Byrneville Elementary School, is participating in the Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program. Her cabbage weighs 17.5 pounds.

Bonnie Plants’ program originated to get more students interested in gardening. Bonnie Plants passes out cabbages to third graders with the students asked to grow and care for the plants. At harvest time, students can send a picture along with the weight to Bonnie Plants where they are entered into a $1,000 scholarship contest.

    WOW Savannah! You do know farmers are our future. Maybe one day you will help feed the world. Way to go on that cabbage. What’s your secret to growing one so big? Wish my tomatoes would grow like that. Looking forward to your next “plant project.”
