There are so many different types of gardens, and they are all unique to the gardener that created each of them. Just as the inside of our homes is a reflection of our personality, so it is in our gardens.
In my gardens you will see several different signs that I crafted from old barn board. Each one says something different.
Over the years, I have collected several other sayings and have kept them in a file for that special gift or project. I thought that today I would share a few of them with you. Perhaps one will touch your heart and you can make a piece of garden art to put it on....if you do...I will expect to see a post about it!
Enjoy!

I like this quote!
A garden is a friend you can visit anytime
It's not mine, but I like it.
Every child is born a naturalist. His eyes are, by nature,
open to the glories of the stars, the beauty of the flowers,
and the mystery of life.
