I had done that years ago and started again this spring. What a magical place to be, especially during our cold and wet spring here in Boston. Those tomato seedlings in the picture above smell so lovely \u2013 the smell of summer! I love helping to take care of the seedlings in the greenhouse and hoop house and the vegetable beds outside. Especially, since I did not start seedlings myself this year and my garden is just waking up after a very long winter. So good to get gardening again!\n<p>City Natives is an educational urban farm, run by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrustees.org\/\">The Trustees of Reservations<\/a>. The farm runs classes on-site and throughout the city, teaching urban gardeners anything from garden planning over pest control to foraging and bee-keeping. Most of the seedlings will be sold at two plant sales, at City Natives on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrustees.org\/things-to-do\/greater-boston\/event-38097.html?srrelated_property=751619312\">May 12<\/a> and on<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrustees.org\/things-to-do\/greater-boston\/event-38164.html?srregion=greater-boston&amp;srrelated_property=&amp;srevent_type=gardens-gardening&amp;dateType=srevent_start_date&amp;srstartDate=&amp;srendDate=&amp;x=48&amp;y=19\"> May 19<\/a> in the South End.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-698\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-05_01_2018.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-699\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-hoop-house-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-hoop-house-05_01_2018.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/greenhouse-hoop-house-05_01_2018.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been volunteering at the greenhouse at\u00a0City Natives on Tuesday mornings.
