“Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine Kind words and kind deeds” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow x Tig What a lovely quote- If only everyone followed that 'quote' how much better the world would be. I have found Gardeners are usually thoughtful and kind in nature-  |

I found this in a book I was given for Christmas:
"Gardening seems to consist of greed and indigestion. Greed because you can't resist buying a plant and indigestion because there is no more room for it."
Christopher Wells
