If someone says "You're not doing that right," hand him the shovel, sit and watch. That's the right way to garden.

If a bush is too big, don't ask "should I?" Go ahead and cut it. If it lives, great. If it dies, replace it with something better suited!

Happiness comes from growing what thrives, not merely survives.

Low care is what we do while on our knees. Smart care is what makes the growing easier.

I have heard people say, "I garden in lieu of therapy, but therapy would be cheaper." I believe gardening's worth the price since it's at least as effective in curing head and heart of what ails us.

Gardeners often focus exclusively on plants, missing the absolutely essential visual role played by structures, from paths to pavilions.

There's no "right way" to garden, only what suits each person and place.
