A few years ago we made garden smashbooks. I wanted to conclude that series with a final addition to your book. I’m sure your books are all lovely, and full of wonderful gardening triumphs, vibrant pictures and lessons learned. Some of you may have even gotten to know some garden fairies.
These are the gardening quotes I added to fill in the pages of my smashbook to make each page a little more interesting. Feel free to share some of your favourite quotes in the comments!

May your garden always flourish.
Many blessings,
