10 Inspirational Quotes All About Gardening

Did you ever think of a garden as feeding not just your tummy, but your soul? Quote #1 sums up this idea perfectly! When you garden you feed so much more.

1. The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul. — Alfred Austin

2. I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.— David Hobson

3. The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
— Michael Pollan

I love quote #4, as it hopefully encourages anyone who feels scared to garden or is afraid at failing at it. If this is you, then this quote is for you! Don’t be afraid to try your hand at gardening. Look at it as an experiment worth trying.

4. There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments. — Janet Kilburn Phillips

5. The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land. — Abraham Lincoln

Quote #6 relays the idea that a garden  gives back more than flowers and produce. When you garden, there are benefits that you get which can’t always be seen with the naked eye. There is so much more coming to you!

6. A garden always gives back more than it receives. – Mara Beamish

7. A man who has planted a garden feels as he has done something good for the world. – Charles Dudley Warner

Did you ever think of gardening as a humble experience? Martha Stewart sums it up perfectly. When you garden, you risk failure, and that is ok! You are at the mercy of the garden and will find yourself in a humble position. It can truly be an amazing thing!

8. Gardening is a humbling experience. – Martha Stewart

9. A garden is a delight for the eye and solace for the soul. – Sadi

It is true that garden provides so much pleasure! You feel the sun on your face, the dirt on your hands, and of course the smell of flowers and taste of fresh produce. Our final quote sums up the fact that garden is truly a pleasure!

10. Gardening is the purest of human pleasures. – Francis Bacon

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
