John Evans is a horticultural genius. He is the true definition of having a "green thumb". The gardener based out of Alaska currently holds 8 world records for growing absolutely gargantuan vegetables.

John Evans has gardened in Ireland, Wales, the Philippines, Minnesota, Arizona, and his current home of Alaska. But his first gardening experience was following his grandmother while she would do her weeding. He was growing Sweet William to sell at the market by the time he was 8. It is almost as if he was born to grow things.

Evans invented the Bountea Growing System and this has allowed him to grow vegetables so large that he currently holds seven world records for his monstrous veggies.
