"The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth.
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on Earth"

(Alternatively, what about, "Presented by violetval49"?)

Is the name Lutyens significant? The architect employed Gertrude Jekyll to design the gardens of his great houses. She was as famous a gardener as he was an architect, and as influential. She once said " A love of gardening is a seed, once sown, that never dies" If nothing else ,that has a connection with Lutyens (and a Lutyens bench) :)
