The commission itself consisted of poetic engravings for eight benches and a tree-plaque placed in the meadow around the Sepentine. The captions on these objects are brief sentences adapted from writings, rendered in Latin and English, on Arcadia by Virgil. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This memorial to Robert Louis Stevenson takes the form of a sacred grove bounded by an ashlar wall on a half circle and by five silver birch trees (Betula pendula) across the diameter.
