Though a life of retreat offers various joys, None, I think, will compare with the time one employs In the study of herbs, or in striving to gain Some practical knowledge of nature's domain Get a garden! What kind you may get matters not..... The advice given here is no copy-book rule, Picked up second-hand, read in books, learned at school, But the fruit of hard labour and personal test To which I have sacrificed pleasure and rest. Abbot Strabbo 'Hortulus'
