The Gardens of Bunny Mellon

What a gorgeous book to own for anyone who loves gardens +++++

A truly interesting publication which looks at the houses and gardens of Rachel "Bunny" Mellon and her husband Paul Mellon. A very engaging text provides details on the history and development of their private residences and of other gardening projects undertaken by Bunny Mellon. Marvellous photographs are a joy and give insight to how she developed a natural artistic talent through landscape. Money will buy large and showy estates or, indeed, pay others to create them for you, but the interest in this book is the exceptional and refined taste of Mrs Mellon and which she focused on creating gardens of a rare subtlety. Highly recommended.

Foto splendide, testo solo in inglese ma va bene. Bunny Mellon una persona sorprendente, anticipatrice dei giardini naturali,una vita "da film". Peccato sua biografia solo in edizione inglese, avrei comprato subito anche quella.

Ein wunderschönes Buch. Diese Frau hatte ein unglaubliches Talent, stilvoll Gärten zu gestalten ohne zu übertreiben.
