When Katie Stagliano was 9 years old,she was given a class project to grow her first cabbage from just one seed.She took it home and planted it in her home garden.It didn’t even take it long to come up and begin to grow.But as friends came over,they pointed out that it was bigger than any of theirs.And it grew so much that the cabbage ended up weighing 40 pounds! Katie then decided that she could use this cabbage to do something nice for the community.So she took the huge cabbage to a local soup kitchen,where they used it,and cooked it with ham and rice.And because of her cabbage,275 people were fed.
She began to realize that gardening and helping people is what she likes to do most.So,she decided to start her first garden on a plot of land donated by her school.
“I think if more kids get to experience gardening they would find out how cool it is and how many people can be fed if you donate your produce,”said Katie.Now,just 9 years later,Katie is 18 years old,and has set up her own business called “Katie’s Krops” with the help of her family friends.
But this doesn’t even come close to the other amazing part.She has raised over 200,000 dollars! And there are over 100 Katie’s Krops within 33 states in the United States.She loves gardening and loves inspiring other children to experience the joy of gardening as well.As of today,her first garden is still doing amazing things and is even responsible for supplying over 3,000 pounds of produce donated to local charities.Her goal now? To get 500 gardens across all 50 states.
