I grew up at my grandmother's house and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid.

A good garden may have some weeds.

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.

The average gardener probably knows little about what is going on in his or her garden.

Give the children an opportunity to make garden. Let them grow what they will. It matters less that they grow good plants than that they try for themselves.

I'm not a gardener. I wish I was.

I know it sounds really weedy, but we are all children who seek approval from our parents.

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in, tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like tidying up the garden afterwards.

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

I have a garden, and I'm passionately interested in young people.
