My name is Alice. This is my first year working with CitySprouts as a garden coordinator, and I'm excited. After seemingly weeks of downpours and cold weather, it's Easter weekend and spring might finally be here. The weather for the next few days will be almost hot, and our neighborhood gardeners gearing up for prepping their plots for planting.

I'll be looking after three school gardens this year: Fletcher-Maynard Academy, King Open, and the brand-new one at Cambridgeport. In addition, I've got my own Squirrel Brand plot, maybe the Margaret Fuller House plot, as well as building my own little bed in our new backyard. Lots of work ahead.
