Gardeners are the happiest people in the world

Why 

Because they are nearer to God 

What makes you say that Sully 

It is quite obvious to me that God has created all gardens be they big or small

Both splendid gardens such as those at Versailles and the smallest urban gardens were all created by God 

So basically you are saying to me that when I am watering the roses that I am nearer to God 

Put simply yes 

Think about it Cat are you ever anything more than happy when you are in the garden 

I have not given it much thought

As you know before I joined the army I was a gardener at St Mars and after that Tottenham House

Why did you join the army then 

I wanted to see the world and work in other gardens 

Did the wars not inhibit that 

There were no wars 

Anyway I was in the Sussex Gardens Regiment 

We were not front line troops 

Our mission was to cultivate gardens and bring peace 

To countries that had not seen peace for a long time

And with God’s help it worked 

You are a good man Sully 

I wish that I had your faith 

It is there my friend 

Just spend more time in your garden

And you will sense God 

Or walk in his parks and see his disciples at work 

Plant a rose bush in your garden 

And watch it grow 

The opportunities are endless
