“Indeed, I think that a child who follows his parents or the gardener about—watching the care they take, unconsciously assimilates a like care and reverence for plants and tools. He is much less likely to run over a bed of seedlings or bang apple-blossom with a stick, than a child who simply uses a garden, of which he knows nothing, and for which he has done nothing, as a playground. And what a delight and privilege it is to have your child sharing your work and interests through all the seasons, in the garden, and watch his life, physical, moral, mental, spiritual, develop and blossom like the flowers.” (“The Child in the Garden”, E. A. Pyper, PR28)
