“As is the gardener, so is the garden”
Proverb
“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
Oscar Wilde
“Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.”
William Shakespeare
“A garden is half-made when it is well planned. The best gardener is the one who does the most gardening by the winter fire.”
Liberty Hyde Bailey
“As the gardener, by severe pruning, forces the sap of the tree into one or two vigorous limbs, so should you stop off your miscellaneous activity and concentrate your force on one or a few points”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“No wiser or finer man lives than the one who understands that this earth is not to be owned. It is to be admired and cared for. We should be honored to call ourselves gardeners, not conquerors and owners.”
Bobby W. Miller
“In some cases, the ideal thing with organic gardening is to have more than one garden - one plot where you're adding compost and letting it rot and another where you're actually planting something. When you add too much compost into the garden and plant the same year, it might be difficult for the plants to grow the first year, as the compost decomposes.”
