GARDEN TALK

Quotes

A yard was just a place; a garden was somehow more specific and best of all as far as I was concerned, it was productive. It did something. I wanted something more like my grandfather's garden, a place where I could put my hands on the land and make it do things ... I wanted to dig. — Michael Pollan, Second Nature, 1991

“A garden should make you feel you've entered privileged space -- a place not just set apart but reverberant -- and it seems to me that, to achieve this, the gardener must put some kind of twist on the existing landscape, turn its prose into something nearer poetry.” ― Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
