Gardening is an art form, but it has lost its sense of history.
William Howard Adams
Image
Gardens always mean something else, man absolutely uses one thing to say another.
Robert Harbison
Image
Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than Emperor's.
Mary Cantwell
Image
Garden work consists much more in uprooting weeds than in planting seed. This applies also to teaching.
Frank Auerbach
Image
Gardening is akin to writing stories. No experience could have taught me more about grief or flowers, about achieving survival by going, your fingers in the ground, the limit of physical exhaustion.
Eudora Welty
Image
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark,swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.
Ketzel Levine

Garden design theory explains, or should explain, the 'What, Where, Why and How' of making gardens.
Tom Turner
Image
Gardening is really an extended form of reading, of history and philosophy. The garden itself has become like writing a book. I walk around and walk around. Apparently people often see me standing there and they wave to me and I don't see them because I am reading the landscape.
Jamaica Kincaid
Image
Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is, gardening is just the opposite - it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.
Andrew Weil
Image
Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
Thomas Browne
Image
Gardening is like everything else in life, you get out of it as much as you put in. No one can make a garden by buying a few packets of seeds or doing an afternoon's weeding. You must love it, and then your love will be repaid a thousandfold, as every gardener knows.
Margery Fish
Image
Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?
Anne Rice
Image
Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized.
Allan Armitage
Image
Garden: One of a vast number of free outdoor restaurants operated by charity-minded amateurs in an effort to provide healthful, balanced meals for insects, birds and animals.
Henry Beard
Image
Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Gardens are enclosed areas in which plants and arts meet. They form 'cultures' in an uncompromised sense of the word.
Peter Sloterdijk
Image
Gardening has compensations out of all proportion to its goals. It is creation in the pure sense.
Phyllis McGinley
Image
Gardening is a labour full of tranquility and satisfaction natural and instructive, and as such contributes to the most serious contemplation, experience, health and longevity.
John Evelyn
Image
Gardening as far as Gardening is Art, or entitled to that appellation, is a deviation from nature for if the true taste consists, as many hold, in banishing every appearance of Art, or any traces of the footsteps of man, it would then be no longer a Garden.
Joshua Reynolds
Image
Gardening imparts an organic perspective on the passage of time.
William Cowper
Image
Gardens are our link with the divine.
William Howard Adams
Image
Garden as though you will live forever.
William Kent
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.
