Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart.
Karel Čapek
Gardening, I told myself, is the most sociable of hobbies. The very nature of one's field of activities demands an audience. No one wants flowers to blush unseen or waste their sweetness.
Barbara Cheney
Successful gardening is doing what has to be done when it has to be done the way it ought to be done whether you want to do it or not.
Jerry Baker
Gardening is the purest of human pleasures
Francis Bacon
The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession.
Phyllis McGinley
Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart.

It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening. You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not.
W.C. Sellar & R.J. Yeatman,
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.
Mirabel Osler
No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty. Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with glaciers, or gathering matter into stars, or planning the movement of water, or gardening -- still all is Beauty!
JOhn Muir
The golden rule of gardening is to pay attention†to local conditions of weather and soil.
