One's Happiness Depends Less On What He

One Does Not Begin To Make A Garden Until He Wants A Garden. To Want A Garden Is To Be Interested In Plants, In The Winds And Rains, In Birds And Insects, In The Warm-smelling Earth.

One Must First Seek To Love Plants And Nature, And Then To Cultivate That Happy Peace Of Mind Which Is Satisfied With Little. He Will Be Happier If He Has No Rigid And Arbitrary Ideals, For Gardens Are Coquettish, Particularly With The Novice.

Is There Any Progress In Horticulture? If Not, It Is Dead, Uninspiring. We Cannot Live In The Past Good As It Is; We Must Draw Our Inspiration From The Future.

A Garden Is Half Made When It Is Well Planned.

Yesterday The Twig Was Brown And Bare; To-day The Glint Of Green Is There; Tomorrow Will Be Leaflets Spare; I Know No Thing So Wondrous Fair, No Miracle So Strangely Rare. I Wonder What Will Next Be There!
