About the green-ish thumb.

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I live in the wonderful city of Philadelphia. That's Zone 6 or Zone 7, depending on what site you use. I have a wonderful fiance of 4 years and I do a job I love (most of the time).

I'm a proud Temple graduate, and a proud therapist.

Gardening has become - along with running - a way for me to offset stress. I come from generations of gardeners on my mother's side and I hope that I can be as good as them one day.

My personality is very mercurial (literally). My sun sign and ascendant are ruled by Mercury, which makes for a very moody, very wordy person. Couple that with a heavy influence from Cancer, and you've got a very moody, very wordy, very sensitive person. Lastly, dump a Mars in Aries on top of that and you've got

very moody
very wordy
very sensitive
very high-strung.

Oh boy. My fiance is a saint.
