Gardening Quote of the Day

"'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. (from "The Education of a Gardener" 1962)"

(Russell Page, British garden designer, writer)
