Gardening Quotes

Gardening can be a compelling cooperative activity. Your best harvest may be the pleasure you get from working with family and friends. There’s never a shortage of things to do, no limit to the lessons that can be learned, especially for children, and there’s always plenty of credit to go around, even for the mistakes Picture Quote #1

I think I may be a better person for having given serious time and thought and effort to gardening Picture Quote #1

Gardening has compensations out of all proportion to its goals. It is creation in the pure sense Picture Quote #1

The trouble with gardening is that is does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession Picture Quote #1

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers Picture Quote #1

This planet is an exquisitely arranged and interconnected system. What’s controlled in one place is going to have consequences in another place. Our job as gardeners is to try and figure this out no matter how small our allotted space might be. Discipline has to be the watchword for our controlling hands. It means not gardening without thinking of the garden as a habitat: for mice, for squirrels, for bees and wasps. For other living creatures beyond ourselves Picture Quote #1

People who spend a great deal of time in their gardens attest to the natural mindfulness that gardening requires. What could be more naturally mindful than weeding? It requires a great deal of sustained attention. Weeds need to be taken up with care: Pull too hard, and the weed breaks in your fingers, leaving the root to grow and spread. Different weeds need different techniques and, sometimes, tools. When we weed our gardens, we have to pay attention to where and how we walk and bend. Move too far in one direction or another, and we’ll squash growing things Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we’ll ever know all there is to know about gardening, and I’m just as glad there will always be some magic about it! Picture Quote #1

I suppose that for most people one of the darker joys of gardening is that once you’ve got started it’s not at all hard to find someone who knows a little bit less than you Picture Quote #1

Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized Picture Quote #1

There are many tired gardeners but I’ve seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year’s will be better. It is easy to age when there is nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for, gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up Picture Quote #1

Successful gardening is doing what has to be done when it has to be done the way it ought to be done whether you want to do it or not Picture Quote #1

Gardening can become a spiritual exercise, teaching us discernment as we eliminate the weeds from our lives, giving what we value room to grow Picture Quote #1

The language of gardening fuels the senses: talk with your hands, observe with your ears and listen with your eyes Picture Quote #1

The garden is a metaphor for life, and gardening is a symbol of the spiritual path Picture Quote #1

Liberal gardeners are people who feel that, through gardening, we can alleviate our sense of alienation from nature; and that, through good gardening, we can repair some of the damage we have done to our environment. The most extreme liberals believe that there is an original or a natural state in which the environment would be if we hadn’t shown up on the scene, and that we have not only the ability but also a moral imperative to help nature return to this state Picture Quote #1

Today the art of gardening is practised much more often than any other, in ignorant, impulsive ways, by people who never stop to think that it is an art at all Picture Quote #1

If your spirit still looks around at the time of prayer, then it does not yet pray as a monk. You are no better than a man of affairs engaged in a kind of landscape gardening Picture Quote #1

Garden making, like gardening itself, concerns the relationship of the human being to his natural surroundings Picture Quote #1

Yup, gardening and laughing are two of the best things in life you can do to promote good health and a sense of well being Picture Quote #1

In fishing, golf and gardening, if you don’t have a healthy tolerance for your own ineptitude, then it isn’t for you Picture Quote #1

Of all human activities, apart from the procreation of children, gardening is the most optimistic and hopeful. The gardener is by definition one who plans for and believes and trusts in a future, whether in the short or the longer term Picture Quote #1

We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders Picture Quote #1

There are thousands of books on the joy of gardening and cooking. Alas, there are only few on the joy of living Picture Quote #1

I now derive physical and spiritual pleasure from gardening and there is tremendous satisfaction in knowing that I could survive almost anywhere if I had to Picture Quote #1

Good gardening is very simple, really. You just have to learn to think like a plant Picture Quote #1

Vegetarians may be appalled, but much of gardening is actually raising animals: the tiny ones under the earth’s surface Picture Quote #1

My advice for people is to love the world they are in, in whatever way makes sense to them. It may be a devotional practice, it may be song or poetry, it may be by gardening, it may be as an activist, scientist, or community leader. The path to restoration extends from our heart to the heart of sentient beings, and that path will be different for every person Picture Quote #1

Being alive is gardening and cooking and birds and green and blue, at the very least Picture Quote #1

Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ Picture Quote #1
