Gardening Quotes
Physical work is degrading [only] if the body is used as a slave or a machine-if, in other words, it is misused. But working in one's own garden does not misuse the body, nor does it dull or "brutalize" the mind. The work of gardening is not drudgery, but is the finest sort of challenge to intelligence. Gardening is not a discipline that can be learned once for all, but keeps presenting problems that must be directly dealt with. It is, in addition, an agricultural and ecological education, and that sort of education corrects the cheap-energy mind.
Wendell Berry
A garden is the most direct way to recapture the issue of health, and to make it a private instead of a governmental responsibility.
Wendell Berry
All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so.
Joseph Joubert
