Competitors in Gardopia Gardens' contest grow, harvest and document their bounty, and then enter their data into an online portal.

Last year Batsche’s gardening excellence earned him first prize in an annual gardening competition hosted by “The cost of food is increasing,” he said. “I remember when I used to go to the store with a hundred bucks and I could have a whole cart full of food. Now it’s like five bags and I’m like what the heck? Where’d all my money go?”
To enter their data into the online portal, Lucke said participants need to take photos of their food, compost or eggs on a scale, showing the weight and a time stamp and then upload them. Samuel Batsche, 6, and his brother Billy, 4, help their dad Jeremy plant a crossvine in their backyard on Saturday.“It’s a priority for me to grow really nutrient-dense [food] without a lot of pesticides or herbicides to feed my kids,” Batsche said. “We’re not growing all of what we need, but we’re growing some of it, and we’re eating better because we do.”
