Some men like to make a little garden out of life and walk down a path.

The biggest obstacle to good gardening is the desire to know the answers and not the questions.

You have to put your partner and family at the top of the list and there must be downtime - time for gardening, cooking time, book reading time.

I love gardening, and I love cooking. I love things like that. I love creating things.

I grew up in Washington, D.C. Suffice to say, it was not a garden spot.

I do a bit of yoga - by myself, not classes. I like to go for long walks and to garden.

I love to shop at the farmer's market or grab something from the garden and roast that.

I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job, but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren't really relevant to my academic work, but were relevant to gardening.

Kevin Durant's kind of been my favorite player my whole life, so it's going to be fun going against him in the Garden.

For the first few years we lived in a tiny rented cottage at the bottom of a friend's garden. We often joked that there was plenty of film in the fridge, but not too much food!

I grew up on the south coast in Shoreham-by-Sea in a three-bedroom semi-detached home with a large garden shared by two properties.

I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.

Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Complexity excites the mind, and order rewards it. In the garden, one finds both, including vanishingly small orders too complex to spot, and orders so vast the mind struggles to embrace them.

All those who run away to ashrams, thinking they are doing something great are just performing daily chores there - cooking, gardening etc. After all, the place has to be run.

I'm very connected to my neighbourhood. If I could, I'd take the entire Peri Garden neighbourhood to form a Jardim Peri in Manchester.

Hedge-hogs abound in my gardens and fields.

I just think that gardening is about the future, a slow thing, that is deep and spiritual as well as spiritually rewarding.

I'd love to take up organic vegetable gardening, do anything that involves learning.
