To create a garden is to search for a
better world. In our effort to improve on nature, we are guided
by a vision of paradise. Whether the result is a horticultural
masterpiece or only a modest vegetable patch, it is based on the
expectation of a glorious future. This hope for the future is
at the heart of all gardening. - Marina
