Gardening is Civil and Social

by Henry David Thoreau

Gardening is civil and social,
but it wants the vigor and freedom
of the forest and the outlaw.

 

 

 

Note:

National Simplicity Day is observed every July 12th in Thoreau's honor.

Henry David Thoreau was an advocate for living a life of simplicity.
