With the last couple of days being so unseasonably warm, in what’s already been an unusually warm winter, it’s a safe bet many people are already daydreaming about the beautiful days of spring to come. And nature seems to be complicit in this dalliance with many plants and flowers already budding all over the city.

For those who want to take a more active role in their community this year, or maybe do something with a terrace that’s been laying fallow for many a year, or simply pick up some tips of the trade and interact with like-minded people, GreenThumb is a great site to visit. It’s a one stop shop of community gardening expertise within the city complete with events lists, news updates, comprehensive gardener resources, and of course photos and member services to keep the New York community beautifying the city one small plot of land at a time.
