A garden is a perfect synthesis of home and nature. Beautiful, exciting, and wild. Yet familiar, contained, and safe. A garden is a place that allows us some control over nature while simultaneously reminding us that it can never be truly controlled.

One is nearer God’s heart in a garden

Than anywhere else on earth.

Dorothy Frances Gurney – God’s Garden

A garden is a perfect place for both solitude and company. A perfect place for both observance and creation.

Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.

Walter Scott, “On Landscape Gardening”, The Quarterly Review

The garden is a great setting for hobbies.
