"Gardening helps us to carefully attend to the close at hand.
The best thing that grows in the garden is a careful gardener.
Your rich, famous, and handsome; and, your garden doesn't care.
Gardens are not inherently meaningful in many ways; but, making a garden and caring
for it creates meaningfulness.
If you plant it, they will come."
- Michael P. Garofalo, Pulling Onions
