You can dig for him there.
gardening spiritual quote by George Bernard Shaw
One is nearer God's heart in a garden

gardening spiritual quote by Dorothy Frances Gurney
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

After all, Eden was garden... the garden is a place to go for quiet contemplation, a source not only of food but also of spiritual renewal and intimate contact with life's most basic processes.
gardening spiritual quote by Ed Smith,
The Vegetable Gardener's Bible
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
garden spiritual quote -
commonly attributed to Martin Luther
I don't know how people deal with their moods when they have no garden, raspberry patch or field to work in. You can take your angers, frustrations, bewilderments to the earth, working savagely, working up a sweat and an ache and a great weariness. The work rinses out the cup of your spirit, leaves it washed and clean and ready to be freshley filled with new hope.
gardening quote by Rachel Peden
Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:8-9
After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
garden spiritual quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Those who labour in the earth
are the chosen people of God.
gardening spiritual quote by Thomas Jefferson
Why try to explain miracles to your kids
when you can just have them plant a garden.
gardening spiritual quote by Robert Brault
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
gardening spiritual quote by John Muir
The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strenthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58:11
I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God, it would be in a garden at the cool of the day.
gardening spiritual quote by F. Frankfort Moore,
A Garden of Peace
I do not know the names of all the weeds and plants,
I have to do as Adam
did in his garden...
name things as I find them.
gardening spiritual quote by Charles Dudley Warner
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
John 15:1
God almighty first planted a garden.
And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
gardening spiritual quote by Francis Bacon
Working in the garden
gives me something
beyond the enjoyment of the senses.
It gives me a profound feeling of inner peace.
gardening spiritual quote by Ruth Stout
Almost any garden,
if you see it at just the right moment,
can be confused with paradise.
gardening spiritual quote by Henry Mitchell
At the heart of gardening
there is a belief in the miraculous.
gardening spiritual quote by Mirabel Osler
I always think of my sins when I weed. They grow apace in the same way and hare harder still to get rid of.
gardening spiritual quote by Helena Rutherford Ely
Every gardener knows under the cloak of winter lies a miracle...
a seed waiting to sprout,
a bulb opening to light,
a bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dreams.
gardening spiritual quote by Barbara Winkler
What if you have seen it before,
ten thousand times over?
An apple tree in full blossom is like a message,
sent fresh from heaven to earth,
of purity and beauty.
gardening spiritual quote by Henry Ward Beecher
God gave us memories that we may have roses in December.
gardening spiritual quote by
J. M. Barrie
Of all the wonderful things in the wonderful universe of God,
nothing seems to me more surprising
than the planting of a seed in the blank earth
and the result thereof.
gardening spiritual quote by Julie Moir Messervy
The many great gardens of the world,
of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture,
all make the point as clear as possible:
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden.
If you don't want paradise, you are not human;
and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
gardening spiritual quote by Thomas Moore
