I Plant Rosemary All Over The Garden,

A Garden Is A Grand Teacher. It Teaches Patience And Careful Watchfulness; It Teaches Industry And Thrift; Above All It Teaches Entire Trust.

The Possession Of A Quantity Of Plants, However Good The Plants May Be Themselves And However Ample Their Number, Does Not Make A Garden; It Only Makes A Collection. Having Got The Plants, The Great Thing Is To Use Them With Careful Selection And Definite Intention.

If You Take Any Flower You Please And Look It Over And Turn It About And Smell It And Feel It And Try To Find Out All Its Little Secrets, Not Of Flower Only But Of Leaf, Bud And Stem As Well, You Will Discover Many Wonderful Things. This Is How You Make Friends With Plants, And Very Good Friends You Will Find Them To The End Of Our Lives.

There Is No Spot Of Ground, However Arid, Bare Or Ugly, That Cannot Be Tamed Into Such A State As May Give An Impression Of Beauty And Delight.

It Has Taken Me Half A Lifetime Merely To Find Out What Is Best Worth Doing, And A Good Slice Out Of Another Half To Puzzle Out The Ways Of Doing It.
