  • Planting Bulbs for Spring in the Public Garden: Today In Boston!

    With the topical plants safely moved to their winter quarters and the beds rototilled and prepared, the gardeners spent this week planting neat rows of bulbs for the first burst of color next spring.

    "Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle." Francis Cabot Lowell

    About Today in Boston: We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. Today in Boston is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.

  • Seasonal Cycle, Hydrangea Style

    IMG_4880 - Version 22012-03-26-greenway-flowers-buds-hydrangea-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Walking along the Greenway,

    Wind whipped grasses making musical sounds,

    Found last year's flowers turning to lace,

    While this year's buds sprouted to take their place.
