Excerpt from My Little Garden: And Your Little Garden My garden is a place of enchantment Shared with the birds, the bees, and the butterflies; A place to rest, to dream, and to forget. It seems so strange a thing to me, why so few people know or feel the restful charm of a garden of flowers. At the age of two years my greatest happiness was to sit in the middle of the largest bed of flowers, and pick anything my tiny arms could reach. From my mother I inherited this perfect love of flowers and for the great out-of-door world. She must have imbued into my soul this longing for, and to be of, nature.
