A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness;
it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
~ Gertrude Jekyll

Love that you quote Jekyll. It seems that in many circles she is considered passé.
True inspiration is never passé. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Caroline!
Thank you, I share the same fears as Caroline’s… I’m just discovering Jekyll, and translated some of her quotes to celebrate today’s Woman’s Day (most of her books are still not available in Italian).
The more we talk about the past inspirations, the better chance that the best of them stand in remaining relevant. Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Women’s Day!
