HUMBLE, Texas — Meet Sophia Schnaibli -- a fourth-grade Humble ISD student and one heck of a gardener. 

Last year, Sophia took home a baby cabbage seedling to grow as part of the Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program, and let's just say, impressive is an understatement. 

Sophia grew her cabbage to a whopping 7.5 pounds, earning her bragging rights as the 2022 Texas State winner of the national Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage program. In addition to statewide recognition, she took home a $1,000 scholarship as well. 

“Here, at Bonnie Plants, we know it takes commitment and attention to plant, care for and to grow a cabbage to the size and quality you were able to achieve,” Savannah Burgess of Bonnie Plants wrote in the letter. “Sophia, you did a great job!” 

The Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program began in 1996 in Union Springs, Alabama "with a mission to inspire a love of vegetable gardening in young people, teach kids where their food comes from, and grow our next generation of gardeners."

By 2002, the program became national, including 48 states.
