"A garden that one makes oneself
becomes associated
with one's personal
history and that of one's friends,
interwoven with
one's tastes, preferences, and character,
and constitutes
a sort of unwritten, but withal manifest,
autobiography.
Show me your garden, provided it be
your own, and
I will tell you what you are like."
Alfred Austin (1835-1913)
"Yes, in the poor man's garden grow
Far more than herbs and
flowers-
Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind,
And joy
for weary hours."
Mary Howitt

tools
work only in other people's
gardens. (2) Fancy gadgets
don't work. (3) If nobody
uses it, there's a reason.
(4) You get the most of what you
need the least.
"Every flower about a house certifies
to the
refinement of somebody.
Every vine climbing and blossoming
tells of love and
joy."
Robert G. Ingersoll
(1833-1899)
"It is good to be alone in a
garden at dawn or dark so
that all its shy presences may
haunt you and possess you
in a reverie of suspended
thought."
James Douglas
"No man feels more of a man in the
world
if he have but a bit of ground
that he can call his
own. However small it is on the
surface, it is four
thousand miles deep;
and that is a very
handsome property."
Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900)
"Greenfly, it's difficult to see
Why God, who made the rose,
made thee."
A.P. Herbert (1890-1971)
"All my hurts
My garden spade can heal."
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
