The ultimate gift for the gardener in your life? A book offering a scenic view into legendary horticulturist and gardener Bunny Mellon's notes, photographs, and drawings. This book will be reached for as seasons come and go, for anyone who cherishes their time outdoors and any budding green thumb, hoping to build their dream oasis., Garden Secrets of Bunny Mellon is a treasure trove of Bunny Mellon's garden design philosophy and advice from her personal archive, a beautiful book for anyone who has enjoyed time spent in a garden, from aspiring garden makers to those who manage large estates. It's as if Bunny Mellon has come alongside as a gardening guide and friend. A late acquaintance, Linda Holden, learned that Bunny wanted to write a gardening book but never found the time. Searching the family's archive after Mrs. Mellon's death, Ms. Holden, together with Thomas Lloyd and Bryan Huffman, all of whom shared personal relationships with Mrs. Mellon, have now turned her legacy it into the how-to gardening book Bunny had hoped to write., The book provides entree into this marvelous life of a 20th-century tastemaker ... The secrets promised in the title do not disappoint. There is much to be found here for gardeners of all levels. Tips flourish at every turn of the page, where a generous offering of colorful and previously unpublished photographs highlight important aspects of Bunny's nuanced instructions., With color photos and rich, descriptive text, the book is both a how-to resource for gardeners of all levels and a celebration of a woman who stepped onto the world stage because she was asked to help her friend, President John F. Kennedy., My home focus has shifted from renovations (thankfully) to garden design and Garden Secrets of Bunny Mellon is my inspiration. Full of gardening tips, it's not just a glossy coffee table tome., Previously unpublished photographs and journal musings from the archive of gardening designer Rachel "Bunny" Lambert Mellon (1910-2014) are beautifully paired in this collaboration between writer Holden ( The Gardens of Bunny Mellon ), designer Huffman, and Mellon's grandson Lloyd. A quote from one of her famous clients testifies to her pragmatic methodology--former first lady Lady Bird Johnson, admiring Mellon's design of the White House's Kennedy Rose Gardens, described her as having a "working-at-it kind of knowledge" of her craft. Celebrating Mellon's life and legacy, this intimate rendering evokes nostalgia and adds nuance and depth to the public portrait of a late, great gardener., The resulting book is a combination of personal anecdotes and valuable advice, much of it just as relevant now as in Mellon's time--and just as applicable if you're working with a modest plot or a grand formal garden., The book is beautifully designed, with glorious photographs (both historic and contemporary) of [Mellon's] gardens as well as botanical illustrations selected from books and prints in the Oak Spring Garden Library. If you only have room for one more book, this is it and as a bonus, there's also Bunny Mellon Garden Journal with blank pages for the reader's own notes., This fall, garden lovers and admirers of socialite, philanthropist, horticulturalist, and style icon Bunny Mellon will get a more personal look than ever before at the multihyphenate's talent for gardens. The book details some of Mellon's most famous works (including, yes, the White House rose garden) but also delves into her personal life, sharing stories, notes, and advice that she jotted down in her many notebooks.
