We made the trip down to Dudley Greenhouse in Roxbury today. It was soooo worth the drive. They had an amazing selection of plants for sale.

Did you do some winter sowing this year? Make sure your containers are open so that your plants don’t cook inside their mini-greenhouses now that the temperatures are climbing.

It’s that time of year again! Woohoo! Join us this month for Spring clean up at Ames Playground and Ames Community Garden. You don’t have to be a gardener to participate. Come learn about all the benefits of having a bed in a community garden and hear updates about how our bees did overwinter. Plus we’ll see what’s growing besides the never ending supply of purple deadnettle in the walkways. Happy Gardening!
