The Garden 

 that We Made 



it does look hopeless at times. Half the fascination about 

 gardening is just the difficulty of making a success of one's 

 ideas. One has a number of obstacles to battle against ; 

 but the joy is so much the greater when one finally does 

 realise one's desires. The very fact that a garden never is 

 quite finished, that there is always more, and yet more, to 

 be done, to be beautified, that one idea leads to another in 

 endless succession — that is the entrancing thing about the 

 garden. 



" A thing of beauty is a joy for ever," Keats said, and 

 that is indeed appropriate to gardening.
