Garden quotes inspiration from the garden – orchards

“What is paradise but a garden, an orchard of trees and herbs, full of pleasure and nothing there but delights”

‘The Country Housewife’s Garden’ by William Lawson – 1617

 It’s not too late to plant up some bare root fruit trees – perfect for the small front garden or even for a balcony garden in the right size pot. Really they are the perfect tree, with careful selection not growing too large, blossom in Spring, shade in Summer, fruit (or the anticipation of fruit) and light in Winter when you most need it.
