To devise these living pictures with simple well-known flowers seems to me to be the best thing to do in gardening. - Gertrude Jekyll

Paint upon a palette, delighting our eyes with soul-satisfying pictures, a treasure of well set jewels a sympathy with growing things, fashioned into a dream of beauty, a place of perfect rest and refreshment of mind and body. This sense of beauty is a gift of God.

I am strongly of the opinion that possession of plants, however good, does not make a garden; it only makes a collection.

The love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies, but grows to the enduring happiness that the love of gardening gives.
