"Here, in the restored 'Knott Garden,' as everywhere in the grounds about New Place, flowers--Shakespeare's Flowers--will clothe and wreathe and perfume everything, all else being merely devised to set them off--musk-roses, climbing-roses, crab-apples, wild cherries, clematis, honeysuckle, sweetbriar, and many more. "By next year, the Trustees expect to have some 200,000 individual plants--including, of course, the crocuses, 'bold oxlips,' 'nodding violets,' 'winking marybuds,' 'pale primroses,' and 'azured harebells,' on the wild bank and lawn--decking, in succession through the months, the ground whereon the poet trod, their millions of blossoms, with every breath of air doing reverence, waving banners of gorgeous hue, and flinging the incense of their delicious fragrance in homage to the memory of William Shakespeare."
