“The cottage garden; most for use designed, Yet not of beauty destitute.”-Charlotte Smith
“Gardening is one of my enduring, favourite, and most rewarding pastimes.”-Jane Hawking
“When I go into the garden, I forget everything. It’s uncomplicated in my world of gardening. It’s trial and error, really. If something doesn’t work, it comes out, and you start all over again.”-Emilia Fox
“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.”-Andrew Weil
