Gardening is the practice of growing plants. Ornamental plants are normally grown for their flowers, foliage, overall appearance, or for their dyes. Useful plants are grown for consumption (vegetables, fruits, herbs, and leaf vegetables) or for medicinal use. A gardener is someone who practices gardening.
Simply that? Let's listen to people who developed the love in gardening:
"Earth is here so kind,
that just tickle her with a hoe
and she laughs with a harvest."
~ Douglas William Jerrold,
"Like a big mountain,
a small garden stimulates, restores, and delights us,
just as it poses challenges, promotes mastery, provides exercise and relieves monotony."
~ Winifred Gallagher
"All gardeners live in beautiful places,
because they make them so."
~ Joseph Joubert
"The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies."
~ Gertrude Jekyll
"Earth laughs in flower."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The only thing that endures over time is the 'Law of the Farm.'
You must prepare the ground, plant the seed, cultivate, and water if you expect to reap the harvest."
~ Stephen R. Covey
