Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf Summary
The beginning of Kew Gardens starts off as a description of the garden. It puts a strong emphasis on the colors of the flower petals, leaves and the soil in the garden. The colors red, blue and yellow are repeated a great amount along with the shape of the flower?s leaves.

Woolf illustrates how butterflies dance about the garden, the glass roof of the palm house in the sunlight and all the colors of the men, women, and children visiting the garden. Lastly she writes about wordless voices breaking the silence, but describes how the voices are children and how there was no silence at all. The voices are the petals of myriads of flowers that flash their colors into the air in the Kew
