“Firmness in all aspects is a most important quality when gardening, not only in planting but in pruning, dividing and tying up.

“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.” PeopleIfsKnowsGivingYearsHeartMeanDifferentInspirationInterestFriendshipChancePleasureLearningSubjectsFlowerMonthsFindingsDiscoveryGardenUnexpectedTreatmentTwelveGardeningArrangementsDelightfulGardenerVisitingFreemasonryDelightful Things Author:Margery Fish
“Gardening is like everything else in life, you get out of it as much as you put in. No one can make a garden by buying a few packets of seeds or doing an afternoon's weeding. You must love it, and then your love will be repaid a thousandfold, as every gardener knows.” KnowsGardenSeedsBuyingWeedAfternoonGardeningGardener Book:We Made a Garden Source: We Made a Garden
