This!  

What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I am reviving this thread with some of my favorite garden quotes - what are yours?

The Earth Laughs in Flowers - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The best fertilizer is the gardener's shadow.  IDK who said that

The Gardener doesn't create the garden, the garden creates the Gardener. - Alan Chadwick.   .... ohhh that is deep

Even though you're not grown up yet, you're going to be so beautiful and delicious and we love you!  - Child at Life Lab Blooming Classroom Field Trip, note to a plant

Be well,

I like the one by Chadwick. I’ll throw a couple into the mix:

“ Spring is natures way of saying it’s time to party.” - Robin Williams 

“Oh, this is actually fun.” 

- 5th grader digging a hole for a fruit tree. 

“Gardening is essentially dirt therapy with healthy snacks.” - unknown

“Gardening is essentially a lifelong lesson in both observation and humility.”

[Lisa Masukawa]

I have a few from students at our school, and a few that I like. 

"There were never butterflies before." 3rd grader

The student made this observation after noticing and being excited that insects and butterflies were visiting after we added a garden of vegetables and flowers to our school yard.

"That's the coolest thing I've ever seen." First grader observing a full grown hornworm caterpillar on a tomato plant. 

"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." - Audrey Hepburn

"Time in nature/ in the garden/ amongst trees is never wasted. "

I don't know the source, but I've heard different variations of this quote. 

"The earth laughs in flowers"- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."- Rachel Carson

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree" - Anne Bronte

Haha! I just sent my own students quotes! They are so silly so I save them and thought that’s what you were asking!

Much like a 1970's approach to parenting, gardening seems to do the best when accompanied by a little neglect. Words of wisdom from my Dad!
