Gardens: A cloak of loose, soft material, held to the earth's hard surface by gravity, is all that lies between life and lifelessness. ~Wallace H. Fuller

Gardens: A farm includes the passion of the farmer's heart, the interest of the farm's customers, the biological activity in the soil, the pleasantness of the air about the farm - it's everything touching, emanating from, and supplying that piece of landscape. A farm is virtually a living organism. The tragedy of our time is that cultural philosophies and market realities are squeezing life's vitality out of most farms. ~Joel Salatin

Gardens: A farm is an irregular patch of nettles bounded by short-term notes, containing a fool and his wife who didn't know enough to stay in the city. ~S.J. Perelman

Gardens: A fine open-air colour was in their faces; they had that confident manner which great physical strength imparts, and that air of conscious pride which is born in lords of the soil. ~Amelia E. Huddleston Barr

Gardens: A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely. ~Pam Brown

Gardens: A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself. ~May Sarton

Gardens: A garden was the primitive prison, till man with Promethean felicity and boldness, luckily sinned himself out of it. ~Charles Lamb
