Gardening Quote of the Day

"...O happy Garden! whose seclusion deep Hath been so friendly to industrious hours; And to soft slumbers, that did gently steep Our spirits, carrying with them dreams of flowers And wild notes warbled among leafy bowers... (from Farewell, 1802) "

(William Wordsworth, English poet)
