All of these gardens are featured in The Gardens of Bunny Mellon , illustrated with Mellon's own garden plans, sketches, and watercolors, as well as with archival photographs and specially commissioned photographs of Oak Spring, the Mellon estate in Upperville. Author Linda Holden's text is based on extensive interviews with Mellon before her death in 2014., Throughout her long and storied life, Rachel "Bunny" Mellon's greatest passion was garden design.

"A tome to treasure." -- Architectural Digest Throughout her long and storied life, Rachel "Bunny" Mellon's greatest passion was garden design.

All of these gardens are featured in The Gardens of Bunny Mellon , illustrated with Mellon's own garden plans, sketches, and watercolors. Much like one of Mellon's landscapes, The Gardens of Bunny Mellon slowly matured over several years, allowing the gifted landscape photographer Roger Foley to record Oak Spring, her cherished Virginia home, in all four seasons. The book also features vintage photographs by Horst, Aarons, and others of Mellon's gardens for her homes in Cape Cod, Antigua, and New York. Author Linda Jane Holden's text is based on extensive interviews with Mellon before Mellon's death at age 103 in 2014.

    Item is as exactly as described, and arrived just on time, packed well. As others have said, it wasn't exactly shipped at light speed, but it was a really good deal and everything went to plan. Just make sure you don't need the item for a month or so. (My order was placed May 12, with estimated delivery window May 22 - Jun 11. Tracking number was provided Jun 2, with delivery on Jun 11.)

    Gardens and a biopic of Bunny Mellon

    This is a beautiful book, well laid-out, with interesting explanations of each section: there are 4 sections, the gardens in Virginia, the Mellon Family, the Kennedy Family and France. Gardens are shown in context with the surroundings, and some are photographed at different times of year.
