ABOUT

ColoradoPumpkins.com was started in 2006 after a hailstorm destroyed Gary Grande’s, the current GPC President, prize pumpkin plant. Wanting more growers to compete and share information with; ColoradoPumpkins.com and RMGVG was born. The club rapidly grew and in 2016 Gary, The Wiz, handed off the club to a group of dedicated growers. This group has formed a board that now leads the Rocky Mountain Giant Vegetable Growers. The collaboration of the board has carried on the tradition of growing the club and has resulted in new members that join year-round. The board consist of 10 elected members, see below.
