Our astronaut is stranded far from home and needs your help. She only has enough supplies to last a few months. Her long-term survival and eventual rescue will depend on her ability to grow her own food. But this challenge is too big for the Grow This team alone.

New for 2025, we’ve set up command centers across the state. During the sign-up process you will be able to select from over 200 locations across all 55 counties. You will visit your selected command center in March and pick up your seeds, growing instructions and other materials.

Please await further instructions from Grow This before picking up your seeds.

As challenges present themselves to our astronaut out there, we’re going need your help brainstorming solutions and working together to solve them. Our command centers will help coordinate the efforts of local gardeners and help your counties rocket to victory in the Grow This Throwdown! The top three counties at the end of the mission will receive thousands of dollars of grant funding to make their communities healthier places to live.

Get ready. This year we’re growing for the good of all. And failure is not an option.
