The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed

To Plant And Maintain A Flower Border, With A Good Scheme For Colour, Is By No Means The Easy Thing That Is Commonly Supposed.

A Garden Is A Grand Teacher. It Teaches Patience And Careful Watchfulness; It Teaches Industry And Thrift; Above All It Teaches Entire Trust.

There Is No Spot Of Ground, However Arid, Bare Or Ugly, That Cannot Be Tamed Into Such A State As May Give An Impression Of Beauty And Delight.

It Is No Use Asking Me Or Anyone Else How To Dig... Better To Go And Watch A Man Digging, And Then Take A Spade And Try To Do It.

For The Best Building And Planting...the Architect And Gardener Must Have Some Knowledge Of Each Other's Business, And Each Must Regard With Feelings Of Kindly Reverence The Unknown Domains Of The Other's Higher Knowledge.
