It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening. You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not. – W.C. Sellar & R.J. Yeatman, Garden Rubbish, 1936
I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must not write outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden. – Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924), In the Garden, published posthumously
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. – Barbara de Angelis
