Перше дослідження садів і ландшафтів Банні Меллона, написане провідним фахівцем, проілюстроване як новими, так і архівними фотографіями.

Протягом усього свого довгого та славетного життя Рейчел «Банні» Меллон найбільшою пристрастю був садовий дизайн. Вона та її чоловік Пол Меллон, один із найбагатших людей Америки, утримували будинки в Нью-Йорку, Кейп-Коді, Нантакеті, Антигуа, та Аппервіллі, штат Вірджинія, і вона розробила сади в усіх них. Вона також розробила сади для деяких своїх найдорожчих друзів, у тому числі Рожевий сад і Східний сад у Білому домі на прохання президента Кеннеді, а також сади в паризькому будинку та в замку кутюр’є Юбера де Живанші.

Усі ці сади представлені в The Gardens of Bunny Mellon, проілюстрованих власними садовими планами, ескізами й акварелями Меллона. Подібно до одного з пейзажів Меллона, The Gardens of Bunny Mellon повільно розвивалися протягом кількох років, що дозволило талановитому фотографу-пейзажисту Роджеру Фолі зафіксувати Оук-Спрінг, її улюблений дім у Вірджинії, у всі чотири пори року. У книзі також є старовинні фотографії садів Меллон для її будинків у Кейп-Коді, Антигуа та Нью-Йорку, зроблені Горстом, Ааронсом та іншими. Текст письменниці Лінди Джейн Холден базується на розлогих інтерв’ю з Меллоном перед смертю Меллона у віці 103 років у 2014 році.

This fascinating story of an American style icon Bunny Mellon, an art collector and philanthropist with her husband Paul Mellon, reveals how her style developed and how she became a self-confident, hands-on designer of homes and gardens in a privileged world.

Bunny Mellon Style is the intimate story of one of the most unintentionally influential women of twentieth-century design. Learn how her style developed, take a look inside the family homes she designed, get the flavor of her collaborations with French designers of fashion and jewelry, and begin to understand her vast and lasting influence on the world of design.

Original research by the authors uncovered Mrs. Mellon's personal writings and correspondences. They talked with people who knew her, who were employed by her, and who spent time in her home and gardens. From published works, they extracted information about personal relationships between Mrs. Mellon and Jackie Kennedy Onasis, designers Billy Baldwin, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and more. Blending stories and accounts from such a wide variety of viewpoints results in a unique perspective of this extraordinary woman who moved in the upper echelon of society but preferred not to be noticed in the public eye. This book reveals Mrs. Mellon's style in furnishings, art, and collectibles; her dietary habits and penchant for picnics; her personal investment in designing every aspect of her homes, secondary buildings, and gardens. Come away with the highest regard for a woman who was disciplined and self-taught, who loved learning from historic texts, who was accomplished in myriad ways, and who was as utterly unpretentious and down-to-earth.

A foreword by her grandson Thomas Lloyd is both surprising and warm.

An abundance of imagery is used, including professional and archival photography, watercolors, whimsical hand drawings, and sketches.

A treasure trove of Bunny Mellon's garden design philosophy and advice from her personal archive.

Garden Secrets of Bunny Mellon is for anyone who has enjoyed time spent in a garden, from aspiring garden makers to those who manage large estates. This collection is comprised of extracts from Bunny's own writings and garden notes, as well as photographs and drawings from her archive.

Chapters are organized by Atmosphere (sky, horizon, shadows), Climate, Light, Space, Shape, Maintenance, and more--readers will feel as if Bunny Mellon has come alongside as a gardening guide and friend.

Bunny Mellon was of the affluent class and mingled along with her husband, Paul Mellon, in the circles of the East Coast gentry of the Kennedy and Reagan eras. But Mrs. Mellon, as she was respectfully called by those professional gardeners who worked with her most, wasn't snooty about social position or afraid to get her hands dirty in the rich soil of her family's Virginia farm. Beyond this, Bunny Mellon was known nationally and internationally as a style icon of her time, enjoying friendships with Givenchy, the Kennedys, and the like. Her personal passion was for design, and that was exhibited in her fashion and her garden.

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, the editors -- whom all shared personal relationships with Bunny -- discovered a trove of photographs, illustrations, and writings and have now turned it into the how-to gardening book Bunny had hoped to write.
