Featuring original plans, sketches, watercolors, and exclusive photographs, this top-ranked garden design book offers an intimate look into the life and work of one of America's most influential garden designers, based on extensive interviews before her passing in 2014. ## Description Throughout her long and storied life, Rachel “Bunny” Mellon’s greatest passion was garden design. She and her husband Paul Mellon, one of the wealthiest men in America, maintained homes in New York, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Antigua, and Upperville, Virginia, and she designed the gardens at all of them. She also designed gardens for some of her dearest friends, including the Rose Garden and the East Garden at the White House, at the request of President Kennedy, and the gardens at both the Paris home and the château of couturier Hubert de Givenchy. 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.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than just a pretty book *by N***C on 4 August 2020* I purchased this book as a coffee table book and instead read it cover to cover in 3 days, spread out on my breakfast room table so that I could admire all of the lovely photographs. This book is a wonderful history of Bunny Mellon’s beloved gardens, along with some personal details that offer a glimpse into the extraordinary life of a very private person. Yes, Mrs. Mellon led a life of unimaginable privilege, but she was also immensely talented and entirely self-taught, and this book really captures her immense artistic capabilities and her dedication to her craft. This book was a wonderful way to pass several afternoons and it will look gorgeous on my coffee table, where I plan to refer to it for color combinations and other planting ideas. I am so glad I treated myself to this gorgeous book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/275242040-the-gardens-of-bunny-mellon](https://www.desertcart.us/products/275242040-the-gardens-of-bunny-mellon) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
