There Is Always In February

A Garden Is A Grand Teacher. It Teaches Patience And Careful Watchfulness; It Teaches Industry And Thrift; Above All It Teaches Entire Trust.

To Plant And Maintain A Flower Border, With A Good Scheme For Colour, Is By No Means The Easy Thing That Is Commonly Supposed.

It Has Taken Me Half A Lifetime Merely To Find Out What Is Best Worth Doing, And A Good Slice Out Of Another Half To Puzzle Out The Ways Of Doing It.

It Is No Use Asking Me Or Anyone Else How To Dig... Better To Go And Watch A Man Digging, And Then Take A Spade And Try To Do It.

The Possession Of A Quantity Of Plants, However Good The Plants May Be Themselves And However Ample Their Number, Does Not Make A Garden; It Only Makes A Collection. Having Got The Plants, The Great Thing Is To Use Them With Careful Selection And Definite Intention.
