Gardening is a labour full of tranquility and satisfaction;
natural and instructive,
and as such,
contributes to the most serious contemplation,
experience, health and longevity.
John Evelyn, 1666
Zone 10 ~ s.e. FL
It does not mean
to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble
or hard work.
It means to be in the midst
of those things
and still
be calm in your heart.

I couldn't agree more! For me, gardening brings a sense of peace because I am face to face with nature, working with it to achieve the beauty it has to offer.
A great quote, and very wise.
Yes, I like the quote. Your garden scene looks marvelous.
Just as true now as it was four hundred years ago. Lovely picture too.
