Virginia Woolf at 18. “He [Leslie Stephen] has presented me with a set of gardening tools - and commands me to convert the back garden - Already we have created a flower bed (minus the flowers it is true) and we propose to renew the grass - to have a border of lilies and other flowers - to rake the whole place clean - in short do not be surprised if you behold a miniature Kew when you are next here - Then, that we may not be wholly ornamental and wasteful - when the winter comes the flower beds are to be planted with cabbages - and one of these days we hope to install a cow or at least a sheep on the luxuriant pastures.” — Virginia Woolf in a letter to her brother Thoby Stephen, 14 May 1897.
