Giardinaggio Quotes

“A real garden is what I would call a parcel of land - any size, anywhere, with any plants or no plants - that is loved and nurtured. It's a personal place, probably enclosed in some way, and imbued with a person's spirit, a gardener's spirit. I'm sure many people think being a gardener sounds like a horrible job. I think it's one of the most rewarding occupations anyone could have – I mean to physically make gardens, not just sit down and design one (let's leave that to the designers), and not just take care of grass and plants (maintenance workers can do that). To dedicate your entire being and all the passion and time and knowledge you have to working with plants and shaping them into a living, personal artwork. That's what a real gardener does, and that's why “half-gardener” is already a compliment.”
― Clark A. Lawrence, Mezzo giardiniere

“Nel grande deserto che è diventato il mondo degli uomini, non ci resta che il giardino”
― Jorn de Précy, E il giardino creò l'uomo: Un manifesto ribelle e sentimentale per filosofi giardinieri
