    Garden quotes

    Not so much poems, but a few quotes many of the from poems, which is why I chose to put them in this section.
    Feel free to add more!

    "An addiction to gardening is not all bad when you consider all the other choices in life."
    - Cora Lea Bell



    "I'll plant and water, sow and weed,
    Till not an inch of earth shows brown,
    And take a vow of each small seed
    To grow to greenness and renown:
    And then some day you'll pass my way,
    See gold and crimson, bell and star,
    And catch my garden's soul, and say:
    "How sweet these cottage gardens are!" "

    - Edith Nesbit, the poem Seed-Time and Harvest from the Pomander of Verse, 1895


    "Gardening is the purest of human pleasures."
    - Francis Bacon

    "Gardening is a way of showing that you believe in tomorrow."
    - Author Unknown

    My Garden is my most beautiful masterpiece
    - Claude Monet

    The glory of gardening; hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature.
    To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.
    - Alfred Austin


    The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth,-
    -
    One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.
    - Dorothy Frances Gurney





    “A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – Unknown

      Lovely quotes and verses, Gem.


      "A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule" is the only one I can think of at the moment. It's a pity the message has never got through to our lawn though - it rebels all the time!!!
      "Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

      (Marianne Williamson)
