"What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade"

- Gertrude Jekyll

About this Quote

This quote by Gertrude Jekyll captures the essence of the enchanting month of June. It is the time of the year when the warmth of the sun and the vibrancy of nature come together in best harmony. The earlier months promise of spring and clean slates is completely recognized in June, as everything seems to grow and flower. The beauty of June is pure and untouched, without any hint of the unavoidable fading that will follow. It is a reminder to value the present minute, to appreciate the short lived appeal of life and nature, and to find pleasure in the easy things that make life worth living.
