Garden Quote

"The creation of a good garden can take years, even a lifetime, so it is the journey that must be enjoyed. You will need time, patience, and sometimes a touch of insanity along the way."

Tracy DiSabato-Aust, from her book The Well-Designed Mixed Garden

Tracy's other book, The Well-Tended Perennial Garden is an excellent reference for the begining gardener, as well as those of us who have been gardening for years.
