Helen Snively is always looking for ways to connect gardens and community and address climate change. So she helps organize the Get Growing fest at the winter farmers' market (this year, April 9) and the twice-yearly plant swap in Fayette Park (this spring: April 23). Her current focus is how we can all reverse climate change by sequestering carbon in whatever bit of land we have, especially with ground covers and composting. Want help with your composter, or your ground covers? Contact her at HMSnively@aol.com
