Man was not made to rust out in idleness.  A degree of
exercise is as necessary for the preservation of health,
both of body and mind, as his daily food.  And what

is in the decline of life, than that of superintending a
well-ordered garden?   What more enlivens the sinking
mind?   What is more conducive to a long life?

-   Joseph Breck

 

 

 

Of all exercises walking is the best.
-   Thomas Jefferson

 

 

Cares melt when you kneel in your garden.
-  Author Unknown

with my own hands.
-  Ralph Waldo Emerson
