To cultivate a garden is to walk with God.                     Life begins the day you start a garden.
-  Christian Nestell Bovee                                             -  Chinese Proverb

Even in a single leaf of a tree, or a tender blade of grass, the awe-inspiring Deity manifests Itself.
-   Shinto. Urabe-no-Kanekuni

A research project in Australia, entitled "The Congruent Garden: an Investigation into the Role of the Domestic Garden in Satisfying Fundamental Human Needs," interviewed  gardeners on the values of gardening in their everyday lives.  The researcher, Mike Steven, established that gardens have the potential to satisfy nine basic human needs (subsistence, protection, affection, understanding, participation, leisure, creation, identity, freedom) across four  existential states (being, having, doing and interacting.)

Gardens are the heart of our business.

•     When we build walls, we are building them as structure for a garden.

•     When we build a water feature, it is designed to enhance the garden within which it lives.

•     When we irrigate, we are simply bringing water to the plants that are the life of the garden.

•     When we build a path, it is a path through a garden.

•     When we pour concrete, we are simply implementing a different surface within the garden.

•     A firepit is simply our way of extending more light and warmth into the garden for extended enjoyment.

•     When we place plants in the ground, we are helping to breathe life into the garden.
