“All anybody needs to know about prizes is that Mozart never won one.”
Henry Mitchell

“The sooner the gardener loses certain kinds of innocence the better, and there is no better place to begin than with the weather.”
Henry Mitchell

“Wherever humans garden magnificently, there are magnificent heartbreaks.... I never see a great garden, (even in my mind's eye, which is the best place to see great gardens around here), but I think of the calamities that have visited it, unsuspected by the delighted gardener who supposes, "It must be nice to garden there."
It is not nice to garden anywhere. Everywhere there are startling winds, once in every five centuries floods....
Now the gardener is the one who has seen everything ruined so many times that, even as his pain increases with each loss, he comprehends, truly knows, that where there was a garden once there can be again.”
Henry Mitchell, The Writer in the Garden
