Gardens are our link with the divine.
William Howard Adams
Image
Gardens always mean something else, man absolutely uses one thing to say another.
Robert Harbison
Image
Gardens can be sharp and spiky as well as rose-embowered and honeysuckle-twined: there are corners and settings where thistles are not such an asinine taste after all.
Robin Lane Fox
Image
Gardens... should be like lovely, well-shaped girls: all curves, secret corners, unexpected deviations, seductive surprises and then still more curves.
H. E. Bates
Image
Gardens are the result of a collaboration between art and nature.
Penelope Hobhouse
Image
Gardens are enclosed areas in which plants and arts meet. They form 'cultures' in an uncompromised sense of the word.
Peter Sloterdijk
Image
Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
Thomas Browne
Image
In the fullness of time, when it is our turn to give, we must in turn plant gardens that we may never eat the fruit of, which will benefit the generations to come.
N. R. Narayana Murthy
Image
Feeling a little foolish over her confidences, Elizabeth glanced up at him with an embarrassed smile. “What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen?” Dragging his gaze from the beauty of the gardens, Ian looked down at the beauty beside him. “Any place,” he said huskily, “where you are.

When I'm in London, I love to visit Kensington gardens and just sit in the park and read a good book.
Natalie Imbruglia
Image
Going to the Huntington gardens and libraries was radically important for me. They have one of the best collections of 18th- and 19th-century British portraiture that you can imagine in Southern California. One doesn't think about Southern California as being the capital of great art.
Kehinde Wiley
Image
I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Joseph shall return to Canaan, grieve not, Hovels shall turn to rose gardens, grieve not. If a flood should arrive, to drown all that's alive, Noah is your guide in the typhoon's eye, grieve not.
Khaled Hosseini
Image
Comely was the town by the curving river that they dismantled in a year's time. Beautiful was Colleton in her last spring as she flung azaleas like a girl throwing rice at a desperate wedding. In dazzling profusion, Colleton ripened in a gauze of sweet gardens and the town ached beneath a canopy of promissory fragrance.
Pat Conroy

The fellow who tends the greenhouse gardens? Trust me, Lady, you'd let him stake your tomatoes.
Kristin Cashore
Image
But aren't many gardens beautiful because they are imperfect?...aren't the strange, new flowers that arise by mistake or misadventure as pleasing as the well-tended and planned?
Libba Bray
Image
The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens.
Lillie Langtry
Image
Little Sparta is a garden in the traditional sense. It is perhaps not like other modern gardens, but I think that other times would have had no difficulty with it.
Ian Hamilton Finlay
Image
I've always found that fashion is, first of all, mainly for yourself. So my two icons are, on one side, Little Edie from 'Grey Gardens' and, of course, like all my generation, I'm influenced by Kate Moss.
Lou Doillon
Image
They say that gardens look better when they are created by loving gardeners rather than by landscapers, because the garden is more tended to and cared for. The same thing goes for cooking. I only cook for people I love.
Ina Garten

My mother brought me numerous times to visit Orton as a child, and I have visited the gardens with my children many times. Orton is a gem on the Cape Fear River and I am excited about our restoration efforts to bring it back to its original landscape.
Louis Bacon

I am in fact a hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated).
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
I hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners turn us back into beginners, put us up where the winners go, Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow, thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles.
Lupe Fiasco

A flower is a daisy chain, a graduation, a valentine a flower is New Year's Eve and an orchid in your hair a flower is a single geranium blooming in a tin can on a murky city fire-escape an acre of roses at the Botanical Gardens and the first gold crocus of spring! ... a flower is a birth, a wedding, a leaving of this life.
