Kendall Johnson spends a lot of time playing in the dirt（泥土）.She has a huge garden that produces over 100 pounds of food each year!But for this seven-year-old kid，gardening isn't just about fruits 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 green stems（莖）. "Grandma told me not to throw them away，because if we put them in the ground，they will grow back，"she says.She tried it and was amazed when the stems grew new leaves.
    Soon after，her parents built a small backyard garden.When her friends came over，Kendall enjoyed sharing what she knew.She says，"My friends loved that.And they helped me water and care for the plants."
    When she was six，she became the youngest certified（有資質(zhì)的） farmer in Georgia，the USA.Today，her garden has grown larger，including sixty plant beds and twelve trees!Kendall says，"When the vegetables and fruits are ready，I pick them.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 wants to inspire 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 with it，so they can see how fun it is，"she says."Growing food takes a lot of work，but together you can do it."
