The (only) 23 years old Gerjan from The Netherlands grows pumpkins. “Pumpkins?” I hear you say. But we’re not talking about just any pumpkins here. Gerjan’s speciality is growing big pumpkins. Giant pumpkins! Pumpkins so large they can only be transported with a shovel. Gerjan has been a fan of growing since he was very young. That’s why he studied Plant Sciences at Wageningen University. His passion has grown into a real business over the last years, resulting in the birth of his website.

This year, Gerjan aims to grow a pumpkin of 700 kg!
