Humble, TX – Meet Sophia Schneible, a fourth grade student at Humble ISD and an accomplished gardener.

Sophia took home cabbage seedlings last year to grow as part of Bonnie Plants’ 3rd Grade Cabbage Program, and let’s just say impressive to say the least.

Sophia has grown her cabbages to a whopping 7.5 pounds, earning her the honor of being the 2022 winner of Bonnie Plants National 3rd Grade Cabbage Program in the state of Texas. In addition to state recognition, she also received a $1,000 scholarship.

“Here at Bonnie Plants, we know it takes commitment and attention to planting, caring for and growing cabbages to the size and quality you can achieve,” Savannah Burgess of Bonnie Plants wrote in a letter. Sofia, you did a great job!

The Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program began in 1996 in Union Springs, Alabama “with the goal of instilling in young people a love of gardening, teaching kids where their food comes from, and raising our next generation of gardeners.”

By 2002, the program had become nationwide, including 48 states.
