"To create a garden is to search
for a better world. In our effort to improve on nature, we are
guided by a vision of paradise. Whether the result is a horticultural
masterpiece or only a modest vegetable patch, it is based on the
expectation of a glorious future. This hope for the future is
at the heart of all gardening." --Marina

of beauty,
but few of us open our eyes to see it."
~ Lorado Taft
"Whoever loves and understands
a garden will find contentment within."
----Chinese Proverb
Nobody sees a flower - really
- it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see
takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
-- Georgia O'Keeffe
