Plants are like people: they're all different and a little bit strange.-John Kehoe
Usually children spend more time in the garden than anybody else. It is where they learn about the world, because they can be in it unsupervised, yet protected.Some gardeners will remember from their own earliest recollections that no one sees the garden as vividly, or cares about it as passionately, as the child who grows up in it.-Carol Williams, Bringing a Garden to Life
