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.
As featured onThe Daily Gardener podcast:
Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
Henry David Thoreau
