I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.
The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
All gardening is landscape painting.
A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.
A weed is but an unloved flower.
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.
Sometimes just to touch the ground is enough for me, even if not a single thing grows from what I plant.
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.
It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.
