Mother Earth has a friend named Leigh Bradford in Wheaton, Maryland. When Leigh was eight years old, she created an organic garden. She wanted to show that people can keep poisonous chemicals from hurting our water, animals, soil, and other people. Leigh gave up her free time after school and on Saturdays to tend to her 100-square foot garden. She learned what tools to use and how to add natural fertilizer, or compost, to the soil. Then she planted seeds for corn, potatoes, and radishes. Leigh's months of gardening produced f resh and sweet vegetables. With her grandfather's help, Leigh even wrote a how-to book about organic gardening called A Child's Organic Garden. -- Adapted from Kid Heroes of the Environment
