Re: Famous Gardening Quotes
I find that a real gardener is not a man who cultivates flowers; he is a man who cultivates the soil. He is a creature who digs himself into the earth and leaves the sight of what is on it to us gaping good-for-nothings. He lives buried in the ground. He builds his monument in a heap of compost. If he came into the Garden of Eden, he would sniff excitedly and say: "Good Lord, what humus!"
~ Karel Capek, The Gardener's Year, 1931

Re: Famous Gardening Quotes
“When I hold a seed in my hand, not only am I connecting to creation itself and the gift that was given to our ancestors, but also the thousands of ancestors that cared for it. If any one of those people had given up saving the seed or thrown it away, I wouldn’t have it in my hand today. When I teach, I ask them, 'what would you do with this responsibility? Will you break the chain of custody and lose this gift forever? Or will you do something with it to ensure it is passed on to the next generation?' It is a chain that connects us to each other and to the creator.”
