Welcome to Growathon.com!!

This is the home of the Reading3000 Sunflower Growathon 2006 - a competition to grow the tallest sunflower in support of the village of Chaiquelane, Mozambique.

Growathon winner announced: On the 16th September, people across the Reading area were measuring their sunflowers. The results have now been collected and checked and we can announce that the winner is Andrew Adams, age 7, of Caversham whose sunflower reached the eaves of his two story house at 4.4 metres. Well done Andrew.

Thank you to everyone who packeted, distributed and purchased sunflowers seeds. Over £700 was raised for the agricultural project at Chiaquelane.

Sunflower packs (like the one below) were sold across the RG postcode area during the Spring. For more information on what the Growathon is about go to the Growathon section of the website.
