Kevock Goes To Chelsea…
Kevock Garden Plants, a specialist nursery in Lasswade, is celebrating a Gold Medal (with full points) at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Here, Coreen Connell, Head of Propagation – whom regular readers will remember for her 2016 Gardening column – takes time out to share some pictures and quotes that remind us of the power and inspiration of gardens…
‘When the world wearies and society fails to satisfy – there is always the garden’.
Minnie Aumonier
‘The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, hear with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul’.
Alfred Austen
‘A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust’.
Gertrude Jekyll
