Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust.
A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in—what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
