“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.”

– Alfred Tennyson

The garden in spring might be the most romantic garden of all the year. Maybe it’s the freshness, the relief from winter, or the temporal nature of so many spring flowers. Ephemeral delights, not meant to last, not designed to withstand more than a few hot days.

“I have drunken deep of joy,
And I will taste no other wine tonight.”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley
