Gardening Quote of the Day

"When all is said and done, is there any more wonderful sight, any moment when man's reason is nearer to some sort of contact with the nature of the world than the sowing of seeds, the planting of cuttings, the transplanting of shrubs or the grafting of slips?"

(St. Augustine of Hippo, (born 354 AD))
