The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, 

and miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost

Meet me in the shade of trees,

by the waterfall and garden pond;

among loyal friends of nature, 

where silence the sweetest sound.

Heritage trees of generations -

 past, present, and future - 

living monument of kinship,

bridge of memory and diary. 

 

"The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God, but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other." – William Penn

 

Be a gardener, a gatherer, a gnome, 

the garden welcomes all, serves all.

Arboretum, a miniature rainforest, 

creating an ecosystem in its best. 

Spontaneous stories and legends,

subject in the lab and shops; 

 awesome secret of Nature lends

to children and grownups. ~
