In Garden Arrangement, As In All Other

The Lesson I Have Thoroughly Learnt, And Wish To Pass On To Others, Is To Know The Enduring Happiness That The Love Of A Garden Gives.

In Garden Arrangement, As In All Other Kinds Of Decorative Work, One Has Not Only To Acquire A Knowledge Of What To Do, But Also To Gain Some Wisdom In Perceiving What It Is Well To Let Alone.

What Is One To Say About June, The Time Of Perfect Young Summer, The Fulfillment Of The Promise Of The Earlier Months, And With As Yet No Sign To Remind One That Its Fresh Young Beauty Will Ever Fade.

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.

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.
