I thought today I would put up some of my favourite quotes on gardening.
"I never had any other desire so strong, and so like to covetousness, as that one which I have had always, that I might be master at last of a small house and a large Garden". ~Abraham Cowley, The Garden, 1666
"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
"As a gardener, I'm among those who believe that much of the evidence of God's existence has been planted". ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
"You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt". ~Author Unknown
I really like your hydrangeas. They have gone out of fashion now in England, but every time I see one it reminds me of my mother. She planted one at the home I grew up in when I was five.
ReplyDeleteThey are very popular in Canada Tom. Used in gardens and for weddings. They are such a classic flower. Glad I could bring up a good memory.
