About This Quote
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes In this quote by Austin Kleon, he expresses a sense of nostalgia for a time when families were close to each other. He mentions the time when people could leave their homes and families to go to the garden or a flower shop to spend time together. These places were a place where people were drawn from their homes, even if it was only for a short while. Some of these places may have been the local grocery store or the post office.
These days, we rarely get to find these places where we can go and spend time with other people. Kleon mentions that gardens and flowers help us bring people together, drawing them from their homes whether they like it or not.
