Gardeners are the Ultimate Optimists:Words to Live By.
Many little quotes express the grand, bold hope and optimism so many
gardeners feel. What could be more an act of faith than planting a seed?
- To plant a garden is to believe in the future
- All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of yesterday
- All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today

It’s not too surprising that the rose, the favorite flower of
all time and perhaps the most widely recognized flower among gardeners
and non gardeners alike, is the subject of many popular garden quotes.
- A rose by any other name would smell so sweet
- Stop and smell the roses
- Take time to smell the roses

Whether it is due to spending so much time essentially face
down in the dirt, or if it is borne of humility developed through the
trial and error process that is gardening, or if it is the shared
feeling of humanity in the face of nature, gardeners know how to laugh
at themselves. Here are a few examples.
- Gardeners know the best dirt
- If friends were flowers, I'd pick you
- Mom's flowers...Dad's Weeds
Garden Sayings about Weeds and Weeding
Weeds are apparently a huge preoccupation for many gardeners, a
source of consternation and a subject of discussion. How you view weeds
and weeding might be worthy of either a little prayer or perhaps a
pithy thought.
- Bless My Weeds
- Old weeds never die … they just go to seed
- Weed 'um and reap!
- Give a Weed an Inch and it’ll Take A Yard
- Garden of Weedin'
