"To plant trees is to give body and life to one's dreams of a better world."
"A garden really lives only insofar as it is an expression of faith, the embodiment of a hope and a song of praise."
"'Green fingers' are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. A good garden cannot be made by somebody who has not developed the capacity to know and love growing things."
"Garden making, like gardening itself, concerns the relationship of the human being to his natural surroundings."
"I'm tired, it's raining, and I am not a waterlily."
