How flower fairy got her name: My friend said, you don't want it to look like the flower fairy threw up in here, but actually, I do!

(with apologies to flower fairy, and I'm sure I didn't get it QUITE right)

and

LIFE BEGAN IN A GARDEN!

(I have both as signs in my garden!)

"The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love."
-Luther Burbank

"A flower is an educated weed."
-Luther Burbank

I'll be making more signs as time goes by, but
I confess, I recently purchased (okay, I splurged!)
on a Deluxe Poetry Stones kit, so I'll be making many,
many things with quotes and words for my garden.
Tis true, a bit spendy, but I plan to make many
splendid words!

WHAT YOU RISK REVEALS WHAT YOU VALUE.

-Jeanette Winterson

Too pessimistic?

"So much time, so little to do. No strike that, reverse it." Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Not really garden related, but two of my favorites.

Those of you that make signs for your garden: how do you make them, and what materials do you use?

"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."

is in the constant exercise of
the imagination."

"Although an old man, I am but a young gardener."

when my daughter was younger she gave me a flower pot with this quote on it & has been my favorite since

"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."

"Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get."
--H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

"Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died."

-Anybody know where I can find a tree of life?

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, but rather borrow it from our descendants." - Laurie Otto

"If suburbia were landscaped with meadows, prairies, thickets, or forests, or combinations of these, then the water would sparkle, fish would be good to eat again, birds would sing and human spirits would soar." - Laurie Otto

You can pray and pray for the crops to grow but first you must til the soil.

By my grandmother, Rhoda Moore

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genious, power and magic in it."

"You have the power to create your own reality."

"The older the tree, the sweeter the music it makes in the breeze."

Are a few that come to mind just now....
