Pictures from my garden and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.


Here are a few pictures from my garden, and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.
Enjoy!


"When you grow your garden, it grows you."

- T.F. Hodge



Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

-Helen Mirren


Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.

-Luther Burbank



"A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them."
-Liberty Hyde Bailey


"Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint and the soil and sky as canvas."

-Elizabeth Murray



"Gardening always has been an art, essentially."

-Robert Irwin




“I must have flowers, always, and always.”

― Claude Monet





“…a flower of strange beauty, growing in a desolate spot, and blossoming in the wind...”

― Nathaniel Hawthorne

  9. Such beautiful flowers! I have always had such respect for those who grow beautiful flower gardens. While I love my vegetable garden and have had great luck with it, I seem to be far less skilled with the flower variety! Not sure why that is lol

  10. This is wonderful, your flowers are amazing and I love the first quote especially. I started growing a few things of my own this year, but I live in a flat, so they are all indoors. Hopefully I'll have access to a garden next year!

  12. "As I walk among my flowers, I find myself talking to them, reasoning and remonstrating with them, and adoring them as if they were human beings. Much laughter I provoke among my friends by so doing, but that is of no consequence. We are on such good terms, my flowers and I!" Celia Thaxter
