Gardener's Fitness Quotes

“You really can’t be a control freak and garden happily. After many years, I have finally allowed my garden to rescue me from rigidity. No longer do I feel compelled to create utter neatness and order in my garden—or in my life. “Organized chaos” is more like it, and I like it more that way. Nor do I have to be constantly moving and doing in my garden—or in my life. Today, I actually can (and do) stay put, seated quietly on a tree stump near the brook or on the front lawn under our now majestic oak. I’m perfectly content to allow my mind to drift and my body to rest.”
