Gertrude Jekyll Jekyll Quotations

It is no use asking me or anyone else how to dig... Better to go and watch a man digging, and then take a spade and try to do it.

There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.

In garden arrangement, as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire a knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what it is well to let alone.

The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.
