Siobhan is a community agriculture advocate, gardening writer, food security nonprofit founder, and contributor to Homes & Gardens, Gardening Know How and other national publications. Through her nonprofit, GrowingtoGive.org, her work will expand in 2026 to include a deeper focus on nutrition, garden resilience, and access to nourishing food during and after cancer treatment.
She is the editor of The Gardening Network (TGN), where gardeners learn, share and grow together.
The creator of Cancer Bites, a podcast and community dedicated to bringing comfort, connection, and joy to those experiencing cancer.
Through her work with community farms and collective growing projects, Siobhan (pronounced Shavonne) has helped design and steward agricultural systems built to withstand extreme heat and drought. She works closely with Crop Circle Farms, whose innovative growing systems have informed many of the climate-resilient strategies she uses in the field. She is among a very small group with hands-on, working knowledge of these systems.
Her nonprofit work centers on growing food where it’s needed most, with a focus on climate-adapted design, food security, and community impact.
Currently living with metastatic breast cancer, Siobhan’s legacy is rooted in leaving people and communities with the knowledge to grow better, eat better, and pass that wisdom on to future generations.
