The Growing Collective is a group of Stevens Point area gardeners who organized to take on the spring growing challenge together. The Collective, started in 2013, is now over 70 members strong. The group is made up of both first-time and experienced home gardeners, along with several community groups including Giving Gardens and Wild Ones.
​
The Collective grows vegetable starts from seed, including heirloom, organic and unusual selections of tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and many more. Each member creates a plant order for themselves and also makes a commitment to help care for the approximately 10,000 plants that will be part of the group’s plant sale with proceeds going to support awareness and renovations of Farmshed’s programs. The Plant Sale is held annually in May on Memorial Day Weekend, in the Farmshed Greenhouse at 1220 Briggs Court, in Stevens Point.
