About Me

alizardinthegarden: Cambridge, MA, United States; Zone 6 (average last frost-April 30th; average first frost-October 15th). I started this blog to chronicle my first gardening experience in a community plot in Boston's Fenway Victory Gardens. I now have a backyard garden in Cambridge. In addition to my own gardening story I hope to share tips, news and other things of interest I discover along the way! Happy Gardening!

A quote to garden by:

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Thank You.

~ Marcel Proust
