“I am trying to make a grey, green, and white garden. This is an experiment which I ardently hope may be successful, though I doubt it.
. . . All the same, I cannot help hoping that the great ghostly barn owl will sweep silently across a pale garden, next summer, in the twilight — the pale garden that I am now planting, under the first flakes of snow.”
– Vita Sackville-West, 1892-1962, English author and creator of Sissinghurst Castle Garden wrote this as she planned her, now famous, White Garden
