A Garden Is A Grand Teacher... Above

I Do Not Envy The Owners Of Very Large Gardens. The Garden Should Fit Its Owner Or His Or Her Tastes, Just As One's Clothes Do; It Should Be Neither Too Large Nor Too Small, But Just Comfortable.

To Plant And Maintain A Flower Border, With A Good Scheme For Colour, Is By No Means The Easy Thing That Is Commonly Supposed.

For The Best Building And Planting...the Architect And Gardener Must Have Some Knowledge Of Each Other's Business, And Each Must Regard With Feelings Of Kindly Reverence The Unknown Domains Of The Other's Higher Knowledge.

A Garden Is A Grand Teacher. It Teaches Patience And Careful Watchfulness; It Teaches Industry And Thrift; Above All It Teaches Entire Trust.

The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed Once Sown That Never Dies.
