Pam Kennedy is a lifelong gardener who appreciates great fresh food and community connections. She founded the Community Seed Exchange at the Barton Public Library and is a lead volunteer for the Barton Community Giving Garden. She lives in Westmore, surrounded by wild gardens, with her husband, a couple of pups, and lively chickens.
