I have found, through
years of practice, that people garden in
order to make something grow; to interact with nature;
to share, to find sanctuary, to heal, to honor the
earth, to leave a mark. Through gardening, we feel whole as we make
our personal work of art upon our land. – Julie Moir Messervy.
It is in the wild
places, where the edge of the
earth meets the corners of the sky, the human spirit is fed. – Art Wolfe.
Nature's music is never
over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions. – Mary Webb.

teacher. – William Wordsworth.
There is nothing in the
world more peaceful than apple–leaves with
an early moon. – Alice Meynell.
You must not know too
much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees
and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin,
or even vagueness – ignorance, credulity – helps your enjoyment of
these things. – Walt Whitman.
Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and
mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary
of life. Whatever the vexations
or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find
paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed
excitement in living. – Rachel Carson.
Make a positive
difference. Conserve nature. Conserve our world. Before it’s too late.

The best remedy for
those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they
can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does
one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst
the simple beauty of nature.
As long as this exists, and
it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for
every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.
And I firmly believe that
nature brings solace in all troubles.
– Anne Frank.
There is a serene and
settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and
elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations.
– Washington Irving.
Study nature, love
nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
– Frank Lloyd Wright.
In all things of nature
there is something of the marvelous.
– Aristotle.
The care of the Earth is
our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility.
To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.
– Wendell Berry.
Earth laughs in flowers.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson.
We need to find God, and
he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See
how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon
and the sun, how they move in silence ... We need silence to be able to touch
souls.
