Compared to gardeners, I think it is generally agreed that others understand very little about anything of consequence. Henery Mitchell
I suppose when it comes right down to it, we garden because it's an old cold world, and sometimes the best a person can do is to give it children
and some green things growing. Rebecca Rupp
One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of
working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race. Wendell Berry
To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds, and watch their renewal of life...this is the commonest delight of the race, the most
satisfactory thing a man can do. author unknown
When I go into the garden with a spade, and dig a bed, I feel such an exhilaration and health that I discover that I have been defrauding myself all this
time in letting others do for me what I should have done with my own hands. Ralph Waldo Emerson
For though we may be the earth's gardeners, we are also its weeds. Jack R. Harland
A green thumb is nothing more than hard work and the desire to make things grow. Albert E. Tuttle
There is life in the ground: When it is stirred up, it goes into the man who stirs it. author unknown
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach that which you can never learn from masters. Saint Bernard
If a tree is treated as a living organism, with an understanding of its vital functions, it will be a constant source of profit and pleasure to men. N.T. Mirov
He who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth is generally considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small compared to that of the happy
mortal who enters this world with a passion for flowers in his soul. Celia Thaxter
I ask not for a larger garden, But for finer seeds. Russell Herman Conwell
