"Water is the eye of a landscape."
Anonymous
"The best way to get real enjoyment out of the garden is to put on a wide straw hat, hold a little trowel in one hand and a cool drink in the other."
Charles Barr
"Within this dell’s green anodyne – Where drowsy falls the thrush’s song – Where flowery cups spill opiate wine – There dwells a slug four inches long."
H.J. Massingham
"The traveller returning from Italy, with his eyes and imagination full of the ineffable Italian garden-magic, knows that he has been under its spell and that it is more potent, more enduring, more intoxicating to every sense than the most elaborate effects of modern horticulture."
Edith Wharton
"A Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
Greek Proverb
"Gardening and architecture owe as much to the nobility and to men of fortune as to the professors."
Horace Walpole
"Find Joy in the sky, the trees, the flowers. There are flowers everywhere for those who want to see them."
Henri Matisse
