Luis Barragan Quote

A weed is but an unloved flower.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

Sometimes just to touch the ground is enough for me, even if not a single thing grows from what I plant.

Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.

All gardening is landscape painting.

I like how writing can take you off for a jaunt in your head and then set you back down in the chair where you've been all along.

I put quite a few trees in last autumn. A lot of silver birch and a couple of native trees - just generally doing gardening, putting plants in and hedges in. It takes quite a lot of time and I love it...

Who loves a garden loves a greenhouse too.

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.
