A Garden is a thing of beauty and a job forever.
\n<\/em>-Anonymous<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.
\n<\/em>-Sir Walter Scott<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t know whether nice people tend to grow roses or growing roses
\nmakes people nice.<\/em>
\n-Rowland A. Browne<\/strong><\/p>\n

The great challenge for the garden designer is not to make the garden
\nlook natural, but to make the garden so that the people in it will feel
\nnatural.<\/em>
\n-Lawrence Halprin<\/strong><\/p>\n

But a weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want
\nsomething else. In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit. Weeds are
\npeople’s idea, not nature’s.<\/em>
\n-Anonymous<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again rejoicing Nature sees
\nHer robe assume its vernal hues
\nHer
\nleafy locks wave in the breeze,
\nAll freshly steeped in morning
\ndews.<\/em>
\n-Robert Burns<\/strong><\/p>\n

As is the garden such is the gardener.
\nA man’s nature runs either to
\nherbs or weeds.<\/em>
\n-Francis Bacon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.<\/em><\/p>\n

-Franklin D. Roosevelt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless you take care, the sun will pin you down. Put a hat on that
\nfoolish head of yours when you go out into the fields.<\/em>
\n-Farmers Almanac<\/strong><\/p>\n

He who plants a garden, plants happiness.<\/em>
\n-Chinese
\nProverb<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and
\ndamp.<\/em>
\n-John Steinbeck<\/strong><\/p>\n

What I enjoy is not the fruits alone, but I also enjoy the soil itself,
\nits nature and its power.<\/em>
\n-Cicero<\/strong><\/p>\n
