These are the guys, they helped me unload the truck.

It was cool, and they just shared the stories about how this affected them and how they used to plant with their mother and their grandmother,
這很酷，他們分享了關(guān)于花園如何對他們產(chǎn)生影響以及他們?nèi)绾闻c自己的母親以及祖母一起種植的故事，
and it was just cool to see how this changed them, if it was only for that one moment.
看到花園可以改變他們真是一件非常酷的事情，僅僅為了這一刻。
So Green Grounds has gone on to plant maybe 20 gardens.
綠地組織又開始安置，也許是20個(gè)花園。
We've had, like, 50 people come to our dig-ins and participate, and it's all volunteers.

If kids grow kale, kids eat kale. If they grow tomatoes, they eat tomatoes.
如果孩子們種植甘藍(lán)，孩子們就會(huì)吃甘藍(lán)。如果他們種植番茄，他們就會(huì)吃番茄。

I see young people and they want to work,
我看到年輕人們他們想要工作，
but they're in this thing where they're caught up -- I see kids of color and they're just on this track that's designed for them, that leads them to nowhere.
但是他們都很樂意在這件事上花時(shí)間，我看到不同膚色的孩子們，他們一直循規(guī)蹈矩走著別人為他們設(shè)計(jì)的路，而這條路卻不知所終。
So with gardening, I see an opportunity where we can train these kids to take over their communities, to have a sustainable life.
當(dāng)進(jìn)行園藝活動(dòng)時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，我們能訓(xùn)練這些孩子們接管他們的社區(qū)，過上一種可持續(xù)發(fā)展的生活。

我們這么做的時(shí)候，誰知道呢？或許我們會(huì)培養(yǎng)出下一個(gè)喬治華盛頓呢。
But if we don't change the composition of the soil, we will never do this.
但是如果我們不改變土壤的成分，我們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)這樣做。
