"When you tell people how to pronounce bonsai you say "the first part is bone- like a bone in your body. The second part is sigh, that sound Charlie Brown makes when he's melancholy. Or, at least in my case, it's the sound my wife makes when I slip it in, usually with a smile on her face. A bone sigh." - adam lavigne

I personally love this quote, it's not about bonsai but it does refer to garden which could be anything plant related.
A woman and a garden are both incredibly similar, it's said that "a garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust." - Gertrude Jekyll

"You're not an expert until you've killed 100" - me on orchids, but probably applicable here too.

Two I liked that I heard from people at shows.
This from a young man taking pictures (mostly selfies) with his cell phone: "Look. They have wired branches onto some of those trees!"
And my favorite from a ten or eleven year old girl to her mother as they first entered the display area: "OH WOW. THOSE ARE SO COOL!"
