Garden Quotes…………
"Gardens, scholars say, are the first sign of commitment to a
community. When people plant corn they are saying, let's stay here.
And by their connection to the land, they are connected to one
another."
- Anne Raver

"One of the most delightful things about gardening is the
freemasonry it gives with other gardeners, and the interest and
pleasure all gardeners get by visiting other people's gardens. We all
have a lot to learn and in every new garden there is a chance of
finding inspiration - new flowers, different arrangement or fresh
treatment for old subjects. Even if it is a garden you know by heart
there are twelve months in the year and every month means a
different garden, and the discovery of things unexpected all the rest
of the year."
- Margery Fish, We Made a Garden, 1956

"Out of gardens grow fleeting flowers but lasting friendships."
- Beverly Rose Hopper

"If your garden was there before you were, chances are it grew out
of many other's dreams."
- Ferris Cook

"If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow
people."
- Chinese Proverb
