Gardening Quote of the Day

"The lesson I have learned most thoroughly is, never to say ‘I know’ there is so infinitely much to learn. Nature is such a subtle chemist that one never knows what she is about, or what surprises she may have in store for us. (from Wood and Garden, 1899) "

(Gertrude Jekyll , English gardener, artist, writer)
