Let this plant your own garden poem be one that reminds you of who
you are planting with. There is such satisfaction when you plant and
see the rewards of your efforts.
Also, enjoy the short verses on gardens. A garden is a place of solitude and
can bring much enjoyment to those who plant and tend to it!
A tiny seed, so small I hold it in my palm,
Yet its potential shows when in the garden it is placed.
Its life-filled potential greater than a child's dreams.
Awakens with the miracle of God's grace it seems.
Our creativity is a gift from the Divine.
The seedling slowly inches for the sun above.
As it grows, I'm forever thankful to our loving Lord -
Thankful for the garden we will grow together with love!
Life is like a garden,
Planted with what we sow,
A road of hard work,
Results, sometimes slow.
Yet none can know the beauty to come,
After months of steps and hum,
For a tiny seed pushed through,
With strength and determination too.
Before our eyes a bounty it grows,
Ensuring success we’ll reap what we've sowed.
An ever-hopeful journey of expectation
The garden rewards with compensation.
Through hardship the bud blossoms into a flower,
The same is true of our goals if we put in the hours.
A purpose for hope is alive in every blooming petal and leaf,
Encouraging us forward until our goals are complete.
Let first the onion flourish there,
Rose among the roots, the maiden-fair
Wine scented and poetic soul
of the capacious salad bowl.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Now in the east
the white bean
and the great squash
are tied with the rainbow.
Listen! the rain's drawing near!
The voice of the bluebird is heard.
Navaho Indian Chant
To my favorite honeydew, do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you, with your turnip nose, and radish face.
You are a peach. If we cantaloupe, lettuce marry.
Weed make a swell pear.

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian;
wine and tarragon make it French.
Sour cream makes it Russian;
lemon and cinnamon make it Greek.
Soy sauce makes it Chinese;
garlic makes it good.
Alice May Brock
In the right place at the right time,
tomato worms on tomato vines.
She is perfectly still, calm and concerned;
poised by the vines, hunting for worms.
Mike Garofalo
When gardening, I have one gift
You won't find in any manuals -
I know it's strange, but I can change
Perennials to annuals.
Dick Emmons
Ye botanists, I cannot talk like you.
And give to ev'ry plant its name and rank.
Taught by Linne; yet I perceive in all.
Or known or unknown, in the garden raised.
Or nurtured in the hedgerow or a field,
A secret something which delights my eye.
James Hurdis
All my hurts
My garden spade can heal, a woodland walk,
A quest of river grapes, a mocking thrush.
A wild rose, a rock-loving columbine.
Salve my worst wounds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A garden so well watered before morn
Is hotly up that not the swart sun’s blaze,
Down beating with unmitigated rays,
Nor scorching winds from fiery deserts borne,
Shall quite prevail to leave it bare and shorn
Of its green beauty, shall not quite prevail
That all its morning freshness shall exhale,
Till evening and the evening dews return, -
A blessing such as this our hearts might reap,
The freshness of the garden they might share,
Through the long day a heavenly freshness keep,
If, knowing how the day and the day’s glare
Must beat upon them, we would largely steep
And water them betimes with dews of prayer.
Richard C. Trench
