a work of heart
There are no hoverboards or flying cars.
Just gardens. Lots of mother earthing gardens.

To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to. But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough. Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing, inhibits and embarrasses them. ~Victoria Glendinning
I grow plants for many reasons: to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow. ~David Hobson
Signs of the Thymes
You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.
No two gardens are the same. No two days are the same in one garden.
~Hugh Johnson
Teach kids about miracles by planting a garden
Anybody who wants to rule the world should try to rule a garden first.
With rake and seeds and sower,
And hoe and line and reel,
When the meadows shrill with "peeping"
And the old world wakes from sleeping,
Who would not be a grower
That has any heart to feel?
~Frederick Frye Rockwell
