July's Nibblefest Theme: "GARDEN"

hands in the dirt, 

head in the sun, 

heart with nature. 

To nurture a garden 

is to feed not just on the body, 

but the soul."

"A garden is a grand teacher. 

It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; 

it teaches industry and thrift; 

above all it teaches entire trust." 

~Gertrude Jekyll

"Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back 

into the slow circles of nature, is a help. 

Gardening is an instrument of grace." 

~May Sarton

"A garden must combine the poetic 

and the mysterious 

with a feeling of serenity and joy." 

~Luis Barragan

Show me your garden 

and I shall tell you what you are.

~Alfred Austin

"A garden requires patient labor and attention. 
Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions 
or to fulfill good intentions. 
They thrive because someone expended effort on them."
