From the moment I saw my first tree as a young child, I knew that I would forever be in awe of their majesty and beauty. This love was further nurtured by my grandmother, who was a nature lover and an avid gardener. She taught me everything about growing plants, and we would spend hours in her garden every day, tending to her beautiful plants and trees.
One of the most enchanting trees in my grandmother’s garden was an enormous old Turkish Pine tree that I believed was enchanted. It provided a large area of shade and shelter from the elements, and it had an incredible aroma that filled the garden all year round. In the summer, it would produce large pine cones, and my grandmother would cut them open with a small knife to feed me fresh pine nuts. I loved the distinct taste of these nuts and their soft, chewy texture.
My grandmother taught me to respect and love trees, as they were here long before I was born and would be here long after my life had ended. Trees provide the very air we breathe and are essential to our existence. Over the years, I have come across some profound and beautiful quotes about trees, which I have collected and will share in this post.
