Earth laughs in flowers. 

Waldo Emerson

To dig one's own spade into one's own earth! Has life anything better to offer than this? 

Beverley Nicholas

Gardening gives me fun and health and knowledge.  It gives me laughter and color. It gives me pictures of almost incredible beauty.

John F. Kenhon

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment.

My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.

The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers,

and the dreams are as beautiful.

Abram L. Urban
