Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it. When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed.

  • -- Lewis Gannett 刘易斯·甘尼特

园艺是一种疾病。它感染了你,你无法逃避。当你去参观时,你的眼睛会扫视花园;你打断了严肃的鸡尾酒会,因为你有一种不可抗拒的冲动,想站起来抽根草。
