Bonnie Plants Believes in Community
At Bonnie Plants, we believe that it’s just not enough just to tell kids where their food comes from. We think that all children should also have the opportunity to get out in the fresh air, get their hands dirty, and feel first-hand what it’s like to grow their own veggies and herbs. Not only will doing so help them build a strong foundation for a healthier life, but it also teaches them a skill that they will get to enjoy for many years to come.
Our Story
In 1996 Bonnie Plants initiated the 3rd Grade Cabbage Program in and around headquarters in Union Springs, Alabama, with a mission to inspire a love of vegetable gardening in young people, teach kids where their food comes from, and grow our next generation of gardeners. By 2020 the program grew to become a national endeavor, including the 48 contiguous states.
How it works
1. Each student will receive a cabbage to grow at their school garden or at home.
2. Students take care of and love their cabbages’ until they grow to maturity.
3. Teachers choose one student as the “best in class” winner and that student is entered into a drawing with a chance to receive a $1,000 scholarship.
