From Working with the Hands:
" I do not believe that anyone who has not worked in a garden can begin to understand how much pleasure and strength of body and mind and soul can be derived from one's garden, no matter how small it may be, and often the smaller, the better. If the garden be ever so limited in area, one may still have the gratifying experience of learning how much may be produced on a little plot carefully laid out, thoroughly fertilized, and carefully cultivated. And then, though the garden may be small, if the flowers and vegetables prosper, there springs up a feeling of kinship between the man and his plants, as he tends and watches the growth of each individual fruition from day to day. Every morning brings some fresh development, born of the rain, the dew, and the sunshine."
