C
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 fruit and vegetables. It's about people. “My favourite 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 (得到许可的) farmer in Georgia. Today, her garden has grown to include sixty plant beds and twelve trees! When the vegetables and fruit are ripe (成熟的), Kendall says, “I pick them and then I do a food sale so other kids and families can have some.” People who don't have enough food can take what they need.
Kendall is an inspiration (激励) 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.”
