"People  are turning to their gardens not to consume but to actively create, not  to escape from reality but to observe it closely.  In doing this they  experience the connectedness of creation and the profoundest sources of  being.  That the world we live in and the activity of making it are one  seamless whole is something that we may occasionally glimpse.  In the  garden, we know."
by Carol Williams, Bringing a Garden to Life, 1998.
