Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.

There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
花园需要耐心的劳动和照料。植物的生长不仅仅是为了满足野心或实现良好的愿望。他们的成功是因为有人在他们身上付出了努力。
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first; for example, a well-laid garden; and nothing seems worth doing but the laying-out of gardens.
不久，我们又谈到另一个物体，它和第一个物体一样，把自己变成一个整体。例如，一个布局良好的花园;除了布置花园外，似乎没有什么值得做的。
