A flowerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking; but even one solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it.

There is always something else to do. A gardener should have nine times as many lives as a cat.

Successful gardening is not necessarily a question of wealth, it is a question of love, taste, and knowledge.

I like muddling things up; and if a herb looks nice in a border, then why not grow it there? Why not grow anything anywhere so long as it looks right where it is? That is, surely, the art of gardening.
