Quote by Alfred Austin

“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul. Share the botanical bliss of gardeners through the ages, who have cultivated philosophies to apply to their own - and our own - lives: Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.”

Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.”
