Kendall spends a lot of time playing in the earth. She has a huge garden that
produces over 100 pounds of food each year!But for this seven-year-old girl,
gardening isn’t just about fruits and vegetables. It’s about people. “ My favorite
thing about growing food is doing it with my family and friends,” she says.
Kendall began gardening at the age of three, when her grandmother gave her
some potatoes, Grandma told her, “Don’t throw away the small ones, because if you
put them in the ground, they will grow back.” Kendall tried it and was amazed when
the small potatoes grew new leaves.
Soon after, her parents put in a small yard garden. When friends came over,
Kendall enjoyed sharing what she knew. And she says, “My friends help me water
and care for the plants.”
At the age of six, she became the youngest licensed farmer in Georgia. Today,
her garden has grown to include sixty plant beds and twelve trees! When the
vegetables and fruits are ripe(成熟的), Kendall says, “I pick them, then I do a
food sale so other kids and families can have some.” People who don’t have
enough food are invited to take what they need.
Kendall is an inspiration to other kids too. She speaks at libraries and
schools and hosts a community garden club for kids. “I also invite kids to
visit my garden and help me with it, to see how fun it is,” she says.
“ Growing
food
takes
a lot
of
work,
but
together
you
can
do
it.
