  “A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. To plant a seed, watch it grow, to tend it and then harvest it, offered a simple but enduring satisfaction. The sense of being the custodian of this small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom." -Nelson Mandela in Long Walk to Freedom
• “Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.” -Robert H. Schuller
