Tom  Turner
“The arts which we now call garden design and landscape design have three separate origins: sacred space, horticultural space and domestic space. Like Homo sapiens, the arts of garden and landscape design probably spread to Europe from West Asia.”
Tom Turner, British Gardens: History, philosophy and design

Matt Puchalski
“It’s a tree in the strictest sense of the word — deciduous and woody enough it wasn’t some freakish weed, tall enough it wasn’t a shrub, but its scrawniness wasn’t really something I thought added a huge amount of curb appeal.”
Matt Puchalski, A Pandemic Gardening Journal
