When a finished work of 20th century sculpture is placed in an 18th century garden, it is absorbed by the ideal representation of the past, thus reinforcing political and social values that are no longer with us.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with.

Well tended garden is better than a neglected wood lot.

If a tree dies, plant another in its place.

Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.

If you build up the soil with organic material, the plants will do just fine.

I loved to get all dusty and ride horses and plant potatoes and cotton.

Garden as though you will live forever.
