garden

My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.

I'm mad about gardening. I have an allotment on the other side of Hampstead Heath, and I keep three hens in my garden.

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in, tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like tidying up the garden afterwards.

I need my friends, I need my house, I need my garden.

In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.

I've always felt that having a garden is like having a good and loyal friend.

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.

Garden as though you will live forever.

A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

The more help a person has in his garden, the less it belongs to him.

We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

To dwell is to garden.

In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.

My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.

From my earliest memories, I loved the farm. My grandfather was a charter subscriber to Rodale's Organic Gardening and Farming Magazine and had a huge, well kept garden with an octagonal chicken house in the corner.
