No matter where you’re from or why you garden, gardeners from different times and different places have so much in common. It’s refreshing to read and identify with the musings of others.
Here are several of my favorite gardening sayings and quotations, perfect to commit to memory or hand paint on a sign for your garden…
Despite the gardener’s best intentions, Nature will improvise. ~Michael P. Garafalo
This one struck a chord with me after my first failed garden season. Naive and novice, I could already taste the harvest, but I started too late, the weather was too hot and the garden was a bust. Never discount nature.

It certainly does! Hard work pays dividends.
When one of my plants dies, I die a little inside, too. ~Linda Solegato
Sad but true…

Absolutely! I’ve found gardening to be one of the most relaxing hobbies. Even if I got nothing out of it, I’d still enjoy the peace of mind that every minute of work provides.

Too true!
And this one sums up the gardening experience best of all:
If you’ve never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you can imagine, plant a garden. ~Robert Brault
