A few famous gardening quotes

The above quote by and obtained from Michael Garofalo's "The spirit of Gardening" truly sums up what most gardeners feel; however, the joy of gardening is expressed in so many eloquent quotes that delight even the non-gardener:

"My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view."
H. Fred Ale.

"There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling."
