"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."

Gardening Quote of the Day

"The lesson I have learned most thoroughly is, never to say ‘I know’ there is so infinitely much to learn. Nature is such a subtle chemist that one never knows what she is about, or what surprises she may have in store for us. (from Wood and Garden, 1899) "

( -- Gertrude Jekyll , English gardener, artist, writer)
