The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed

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

There Is A Lovable Quality About The Actual Tools. One Feels So Kindly To The Thing That Enables The Hand To Obey The Brain. Moreover, One Feels A Good Deal Of Respect For It; Without It The Brain And The Hand Would Be Helpless.

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.

The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed That Once Sown Never Dies, But Grows To The Enduring Happiness That The Love Of Gardening Gives.
