"See how the flowers, as at parade,
Under their colours stand displayed ..."
     --Excerpt from "A Garden" by Andrew Marvell
To visit my GARDEN enter through the
Garden Gate =>

Whoever makes a garden
Has never worked alone;
The rain has always found it,
The sun has always known,
The wind has blown across it
And helped to scatter seeds--
Whoever makes a garden
Has all the help he needs. ...

--excerpt from "Who Makes a Garden" by Douglas Malloch
"The scattered flowers alone are gay;
Their fragrance fills the gentle wind,
And I, grown drowsy, dream and find
The long forgotten yesterday.

--excerpt from "In an Old Garden"
by Frank Dempster Sherman
