Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they’re tender. They have to be persistent. (Ralph Fiennes)

That’s the uplifting thing about gardening: I forgot time, space and tax returns. In the here and now it was just me and that damn privet. (Susanne Wiborg)
I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master.I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit. (Reginald Farrer)
A mindful gardener fears not the thorns — but moments of his own carelessness. (Heike Ullmann)

Writing about gardening is often a very boring and useless exercise, given how biased, meticulous, irreverent, and depraved these gardeners are all around.

The Three Radishes was, in the seventeenth century, a common nursery and market gardener’s sign in Holland. (John Camden Hotten)

In almost every garden, the land is made better and so is the gardener. (Robert Rodale)
If you really want to be a good gardener, you need to understand what is going on in your soil. (Jeff Lowenfels)
I find that a real gardener is not a man who cultivates flowers; he is a man who cultivates the soil. He is a creature who digs himself into the earth and leaves the sight of what is on it to us gaping good-for-nothings… He builds his monument in a heap of compost.

Spring and gardeners
I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. (Ruth Stout)
Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer. (Geoffrey B. Charlesworth)
April is the right and blessed month of the gardener. The lovers shall leave us unscathed with their much-vaunted May; in May the trees and flowers only bloom, but in April they bud. (Karel Čapek)
Workout and gardeners
If you have a garden, you don’t need a gym or a vacation. (Fritz Neuhauser)
Without doubt, without hesitation, I choose gardening over the gym. I can’t stand going to the gym. It doesn’t appeal to me at all. Give me gardening every time. (Mary Berry)

Death and gardeners
If a tree dies, plant another in its place. (Carl Linnaeus)
The death of the gardener is nothing that harms a tree. But if you threaten the tree, then the gardener dies twice. (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
In all the gardens of the world, when a flower dies, the gardeners arrange for another to grow in its place. It’s like in the hearts of little girls. When one carnation wilts, another prepares to bloom. And life is filled with its fragrance. (Marcel Dube)
Learning and gardeners
Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That’s the fun of them. You’re always learning. (Helen Mirren)

Unnoticed life story is like a garden without a gardener. (Stefan Rogal)
Dreams and gardeners
Live your garden dreams. (Iris Winkenbach)
Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than emperors. (Mary Cantwell)
There are invisible gardeners in the world who cultivate the dreams of others. (Jeanne Benameur)
Green thumbs and gardeners
If you wish to make anything grow, you must understand it, and understand it in a very real sense. «Green fingers» are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. (Russell Page)
There are no green thumbs or black thumbs. There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who ruin after ruin get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way’. (Henry Mitchell)
Snow and gardeners
In spite of unseasonable wind, snow and unexpected weather of all sorts – a gardener still plants. And tends what they have planted … believing that Spring will come. (Mary Anne Radmacher)
From the gardener’s point of view, November can be the worst month to be faced: Nature is winding things down, the air is cold, skies are gray, but usually the final mark of punctuation to the year as yet to arrive – the snow; snow that covers all in the garden and marks a mind-set for the end of a year’s activity. (H. Peter Loewer)

Prove it if you can, that the wild flower in the meadow is less beautiful than the one reared beneath the hand of the gardener. (Ritter Brown)
However, it is hard to explain the wildflowers that one gardener calls weeds, and another considers beautiful ground cover. (Shannon L. Alder)
Marriage and gardeners
Marriage is like gardening. The best gardener is the one who knows that the grass is rarely greener elsewhere. (Umar Timo)
Every day, stripped to the waist, I work hard in the garden, and my wife, worrying about my spirit, reads to me from the early Blok. (Igor Huberman)
