HINGHAM, Mass. - BostonChron -- Spring is a time of hope. Of new growth. Of renewal, as plants and animals reemerge after a long winter's nap.

It's a joy to be witness to the circle of life, even in the small things in the garden—sometimes especially when it's the small things in the garden.

Here at GreenPrints, we're all about celebrating gardening—with gardening stories from the heart to inspire and entertain you. Pull up a copy of GreenPrints and curl up in your favorite chair to enjoy our heartwarming stories.
