GBMD: The Wise Gardener...


The wise gardener... is one who makes his gardening a joy and not a chore

From a sign seen in the garden at the Garden Museum in June. I'm trying to heed that advice and looking at my first-time grown tree lilies® is helping enormously :)

  1. Wow, they are stunning, and what an amazing picture. The quote is good advice I think. I am struggling with the feeling of being overwhelmed at the moment, and for all of the hours put in, not really ending up with a pretty space, or even a neat space. But I know it will pass and I will fall in love with gardening again.

    1. Yes I fall in and out of love with my garden and allotment too. This past couple of months has been love mainly because it's been so good to be outside after last summer's dreadful weather!

  4. Hi Caro - it's Garden Bloggers' Muse Day as shown in the Label section at the end of the post ;)

    It's a monthly meme started by Carolyn Choi of the then Sweet Home and Garden Chicago blog. She moved over a year ago and hasn't re-started it (yet) with her new blog from Carolina.

    The idea is to post a Muse (poetry, quotation, a saying etc) on the first of the month. I've chosen to stick with it, even though Carolyn isn't hosting it any more.
