The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed

The Lesson I Have Thoroughly Learnt, And Wish To Pass On To Others, Is To Know The Enduring Happiness That The Love Of A Garden Gives.

There Is Always In February Some One Day, At Least, When One Smells The Yet Distant, But Surely Coming, Summer.

The Love Of Gardening Is A Seed That Once Sown Never Dies, But Grows To The Enduring Happiness That The Love Of Gardening Gives.

If You Take Any Flower You Please And Look It Over And Turn It About And Smell It And Feel It And Try To Find Out All Its Little Secrets, Not Of Flower Only But Of Leaf, Bud And Stem As Well, You Will Discover Many Wonderful Things. This Is How You Make Friends With Plants, And Very Good Friends You Will Find Them To The End Of Our Lives.

The Possession Of A Quantity Of Plants, However Good The Plants May Be Themselves And However Ample Their Number, Does Not Make A Garden; It Only Makes A Collection. Having Got The Plants, The Great Thing Is To Use Them With Careful Selection And Definite Intention.
