I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them.
I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master.
I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit.
Reginald Farrer, In a Yorkshire Garden, 1909

An introduction

My powder puff
Today marks my entry into the blogging world of gardening. Been thinking what to call the blog. Finally decided on "Gardening Pleasures". Gardening should be an enjoyment. It should be fun and relaxing. Its definitely a good way to de-stress from work and other pressures. In addition, it livens and beautify the surroundings, making the garden a relaxing place to watch and be in.
