Please, share your garden's poetry

I have started a thread in the NE forum, because I didn't know where else to

:-)

Please post yours there!! Thanks!

Like your verse and have not seen it before. So many others are overused; they've become quite common.

Willie -that is beautiful! Garden art is as personal as the flowers we love to grow... I was given this one when Jenna, my daughter, passed away - 3 yrs tomorrow...

Two plaques that I have and enjoy:

1) Weed 'em and Reap.

2) The Earth Laughs in Flowers.

One that I like but don't have:

All Gardening is Landscape Painting. (Alexander Pope)

One that I believe in:

1) Gardeners Live in Beautiful Places Because They Make Them So. (Joseph Joubert, 1806, Pensées)

Here's one I bought a few years ago.

Across the back rail of my garden bench I plan to stencil: "Sometimes I sit and think, but mostly I just sit"

gessie - I like that. Mind if I steal it?

bonjon, go ahead--that's how I got it.LOL

I found sign in a craft supply store, added a coat shellac, recycled a wire hanger, and popped it into the garden....

"Make a little garden out of life"

This was on a sign at Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC. back in the '50's. Not sure if it is still there.

I use to love my garden, but now my love is dead.
I found a Bachelor's Button in Blackeyed Susan's bed.

This is a website with many garden quotes to use on signs. Enjoy

I will be at PDN this weekend most likely, and i'll be sure to write down some of theirs. a few photos if I can do it. I have none, sorry to say. but at this point the weeds would most likely have it covered.

Kind of like this one. God's in charge of flowers and seeds and I'm in charge of all the weeds.
