There was a similar Luther quote in Modern Reformation:

Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in spring-time.

I agree though that saying the gospel is in nature is stretching it. Luther has said some things that were off. This would be one of them I think. Resurrection shown in spring time when everything comes back to life is not out there. I don't think you can get THE resurrection from it but you get the concept sort of.
