“Gardening always has been an art, essentially.”

“Every situation has qualities. Essentially, we quantify them and that's the practical side of our lives, so the involvement with perception and in acquiring the perception is our ability to understand qualities. They exist only as long as a human being keeps them in play. They're - Therefore they are akin to energy.”

“There's no palette as rich as a garden. And the intensity of it - I make this statement all the time: You can't plan nature; you court her.”

“There is nothing I like better at the end of a hot summer's day than taking a short walk around the garden. You can smell the heat coming up from the earth to meet the cooler night air.”

“To dwell is to garden.”

“I find I am growing fonder of gardening, listening to music and reading.”
