All gardening is landscape painting.
I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with.

In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.
