Planting A Garden Quotes

I hardly have any spare time! But when I do, I garden a lot - I love plants and flowers Picture Quote #1

A beginner must look on himself as one setting out to make a garden for his Lord’s pleasure, on most unfruitful soil which abounds in weeds. His Majesty roots up the weeds and will put in good plants instead. Let us reckon that this is already done when the soul decides to practice prayer and has begun to do so Picture Quote #1

One of the first gardens I did outside the family was for the designer Hattie Carnegie. I was 23 then, and I went to her salon, but could not afford any of her dresses myself, though I loved them. Miss Carnegie suggested I do a garden in exchange for a coat and dress, and so I designed and planted a garden for her Picture Quote #1

Planting a flower’s like opening a book, because either way you’re starting something. And your garden’s your library Picture Quote #1

When you’re doing exactly what you want to do, it’s not tiring. You’ve been planting these seeds, and finally, you have a full garden in bloom; you’re like, ‘Oh, I just want to smell the flowers and play among the flowers all day.’ That’s what I’m doing. I’m playing among the flowers Picture Quote #1

My kind of composing is more like the work of a gardener. The gardener takes his seeds and scatters them, knowing what he is planting but not quite what will grow where and when - and he won’t necessarily be able to reproduce it again afterwards either Picture Quote #1

Garden work consists much more in uprooting weeds than in planting seed. This applies also to teaching Picture Quote #1

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures Picture Quote #1

My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city Picture Quote #1

Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle Picture Quote #1

He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants Picture Quote #1

In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure Picture Quote #1

And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it’s just been so worth the effort. It’s like I’m planting a garden in my head Picture Quote #1
