Gardens are not made 
by singing “Oh how beautiful” and sitting in the shade. 

-Rudyard Kipling

that he has done something for the good of the world.

is to forget ourselves.

In the end, there is really nothing more important
than taking care of the earth and letting it take care of you.

The best place to 
seek God is in a garden. 
You can dig for 
him there. 

- George Bernard Shaw

It will never rain roses: when we want to have
more roses we must plant more trees.
