Quotes by Roberto Burle Marx

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.
– Roberto Burle Marx
I did a salad, but I didn't do a garden.
– Roberto Burle Marx
I'm a plant eater.
– Roberto Burle Marx
