Gardeners' Quotes

Should you be a cottage gardener, a Victorian gardener, an herb gardener, a plain dirt gardener, a natural gardener, a container gardener, a colorist, or an enlightened combination of all sorts of specialist dogmas?  It is my contention that if you wish to succeed in the gardening life, there is only one true path to salvation-be a realistic gardener.
