Grow is a 2025 British family comedy film directed by John McPhail and written by Nick Guthe, Christos N. Gage, Ruth Fletcher Gage, Mark Huckerby, and Nick Ostler.
The film stars Golda Rosheuvel, Priya-Rose Brookwell, Nick Frost, Jeremy Swift, Jane Horrocks, Tim McInnerny, Alan Carr, Joe Wilkinson, and Dominic McLaughlin.
Set in the self-proclaimed “Pumpkin Capital of the World,” the story follows Dinah Little (Rosheuvel), a grumpy farmer who reluctantly takes in her estranged niece, Charlie (Brookwell). Charlie has a magical touch with plants and decides to enter the town’s giant-pumpkin competition with her pumpkin “Peter.”
As they face quirky rivals, sabotage attempts, and strange “pumpkin technology,” Dinah and Charlie slowly grow closer, discovering the importance of family and care along the way.
