Quote #1583 about gardening by Alice Morse Earle
"Half the interest of a garden is the constant exercise of the imagination. You are always living three, or indeed six, months hence. I believe that people entirely devoid of imagination never can be really good gardeners. To be content with the present, and not striving about the future, is fatal."by Alice Morse Earle
