We all need a little inspiration at times. Whether it’s inspiration to start working out, eat better, or start that next home improvement project, sometimes we just need a little spark. Being the garden enthusiast you are, you probably don’t need any inspiration to get into the garden. Or do you? As joyful and fulfilling as gardening is, it can at times feel like a must-do chore. We are here to inspire you if you are in a gardening slump, just starting out, or working your way back to the garden! I asked the staff at Holland Bulb Farms for their favorite garden quotes, which I have included below, along with some of my favorite gardening quotes.
Inspirational Gardening Quotes
A garden quote to remind us not to compare our lives to other people’s. Life’s pace for you is exactly as it is meant to be, just as it is for tulip flowers in spring.
Healthy soil is good for our food, and therefore, good for our bodies. If you nourish your body, you will nourish your soul. Therefore, when planting your garden, be sure to enrich your soil with organic matter and plenty of nutrients.
Flowers remind us that even during the most challenging times that we are stronger than we realize.
Be sure to enjoy every moment and never take life for granted. Stop to smell the roses, hyacinths, and lilacs. Take time to watch the butterflies flutter on a coneflower and appreciate the great beauty this world offers.
We love this quote because it’s factual, but also a great life reminder. Spring flowers don’t appear without a long winter followed by cleansing spring rains.
Everyone LOVES this quote, it was Katie at Holland Bulb Farms first choice of gardening quotes when we asked her. It’s a reminder to believe in the promises of tomorrow. What you water and nourish today will bring joy and bounty for the future.
Long-lived flowers like daffodils, lily of the valley, lilacs, and peonies are all great examples of planting for future generations. What a magnificent gift to give your children that they will enjoy now and for decades to follow.
Hope is what drives life! Flowers are an excellent channel to hope.
Graphic designer Kaeti from Holland Bulb Farms said this was her favorite gardening quote. Coming from an artist like Kaeti we appreciate this quote even more, knowing that we gardeners too can be artists.
YES! Experimenting with new plants and gardening techniques is what it’s all about! It mimics life. You must try new things to develop and discover as a person; it’s the same for planting a garden. If something doesn’t work it’s just an opportunity to try something new!
