My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.

The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.

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

Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.
