In the Spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

If your knees aren't green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life..

A gardener's work is never done---And therein lies the pleasure. Happiness stems from always having something to do, something to love, and something to look forward to.

If you want to be happy for an hour, get drunk.
If you want to be happy for three days, get married.
If you want to be happy for eight days, kill your pig and eat it.
But if you want to be happy forever, become a gardener.--Chinese Proverb

You are closer to God in a flower garden than in all the churches on earth.

Gardening is a way of showing that you believe in tomorrow.

Do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of..Benjamin Franklin

One who plants a garden, plants happiness..Chinese proverb

"Don't grumble that roses have thorns, be thankful that thorns have roses."

"We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden."

"This garden was made by doing impractical things we could not afford at the wrong time of year."

Gardeners know all the good dirt

I want to have a little house
With sunlight on the floor,
A chimney with a rosy hearth,
And lilacs by the door;
With windows looking East and West,
And a crooked apple tree,
And room beside the garden fence
For Hollyhocks to be! ~Nancy Bird Turner

There's peace within a garden,
A peace so deep and calm
That when the heart is trouble
It's like a soothing balm.

There's life within a garden,
A life that still goes on
Filling empty places
When older plants have gone.

There's glory in the garden
At every time of year,
Spring, summer, autumn, winter,
To fill the heart with cheer.

So ever tend your garden
It's beauty to increase,
For in it you'll find solace,
And in it you'll find peace.
