Bunny Williams: Life in the Garden

By: Williams, Bunny

Book Overview

This is Bunny Williams' most ambitious book to date.

Inviting us into her impressive grounds with charming personal anecdotes, expert advice, and hundreds of stunning photographs-printed on two different speciality stocks-Bunny Williams illustrates every aspect of the gardens surrounding her eighteenth-century manor house in Northwestern Connecticut in different lights and seasons.

A popular stop on the Garden Conservancy circuit, Williams' property boasts a parterre garden, year-round conservatory, extensive vegetable garden, orchard, woodlands, an aviary with exotic fowl, and a rustic poolside Greek Revival-style folly. Each section of the garden is accompanied by adirectory of featured plants--from native ferns and succulents to a wide variety of flowering specimens.

Throughout, the revered designer shows us how she incorporates nature in her interiors: in stunning floral arrangements, unique tablescapes, and elaborate holiday vignettes--where a rescued bird's nest commands as much attention as a prized collector's item. Whether in the intentional juxtaposition of high and low, or the considered placement of a garden bench to appreciate aparticular view, home and garden together reflect the epitome of Bunny Williams' inimitable style.
