ardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.

Gardening
part one

o create a garden is to search for a better world. In our effort to improve on nature, we are guided by a vision of paradise. Whether the result is a horticultural masterpiece or only a modest vegetable patch, it is based on the expectation of a glorious future. This hope for the future is at the heart of all gardening.

Marina Schinz

o garden, you open your personal space to admit a few,  a great many, or thousands of plants which exude charm,  pleasure, beauty, oxygen, conversation, friendship, confidence,  and other rewards should you succeed in meeting their basic needs. This is why people garden. It can be easy but  challenging, and the rewards are priceless. 

Tom Clothier, Gardening Philosophy

small garden, accordingly, gives its owner a far greater opportunity to express himself... in a garden any man may be an artist, may experiment with all the subtleties or simplicities of line, mass, color, and composition, and taste the god-like joys of the creator.

H. G. Dwight, Gardens and Gardening, Atlantic Monthly, 1912
