Random: Garden related quotes?

[MrsAxilla]

My son's school is putting in a garden.  This is an expensive, long-term plan.  One of the most enthusiastic proponents - a fifth grade teacher - was tragically killed in an auto accident about a month ago.  So the garden is now the Teacher's Memorial Garden.  

To raise money and honor the teacher, they are selling bricks that will be used for the walkways, which families can inscribe. We'd like to buy a brick, but we're at a loss as to what to say.  We really don't want our names; just a nice something garden related that we'll know belongs to us.  Any suggestions?  Ben and I like Grow Your Own, but DH isn't sold.  What do people normally put on these things?

I don't know how much space you have, but I've always loved this quote:

"Live each day as if it were your last, and garden as if you will live forever" - author unknown

Or if that feels too morbid/depressing maybe this one would suit better:


"If you would have a lovely garden,
you should live a lovely life"

-Shaker saying

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

Either line could work on its own if space is limited.
