Poetry from the Garden

Poems we keep coming back to

Poems by others that say something about gardens, growing, or paying attention.

• New feet within my garden go

  New feet within my garden go, New fingers stir the sod; A troubadour upon the elm Betrays the solitude. New children play upon the green, New weary sleep below; And still the pensive spring returns, And still the punctual snow!

  — Emily Dickinson1890
