Another strong point is the link between the care of a garden and the care of a person. Waters points out that humans inherently want to protect something as it grows and care for it: "Watching something infinitely fragile sprout in warm, fertile earth and nurturing it to the point where it can survive and grow strong is pretty much definitive of what it is be human."
