Growing a garden does't just feed the body, it also feeds the soul.
It is good to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought. ~ James Douglas
You do understand, James Douglas, that flowers don't grow in pure manure?
...
By the time one is eighty, it is said, there is no longer a tug of war in the garden with the May flowers hauling like mad against the claims of the other months. All is at last in balance and all is serene. The gardener is usually dead, of course. ~ Henry Mitchell

Many people have felt that:Harvester of sorrow wrote:My garden is my church,it is where I truly feel the presence of God.
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.
From God's Garden by Dorothy Frances Gurney
