Bunny Williams: Life in the Garden

The joy and beauty of flowers, gardens and trees. ...This stunning collection of photos that capture the color, texture, light effects on the petals and compositions of these all flora and foliage is a MUST. Have given it to two friends this holiday season who are avid gardeners and flower lovers who are so enamored with this book AND consider it THEIR FAVORITE BOOK GIFT OF ALL TIME... WOW.....I am in love with this book to have and give....PURE JOY...

By far my favorite book purchase of the summer, purchased as inspirational read. The photos are beautiful and this is a large book. Anything Bunny does is right

I toured Bunny’s Falls Village, Connecticut estate and this book is a treasure that reminds me of that wonderful visit. The photography is gorgeous and her stories of the development of her gardens over the years are insightful. She readily admits making mistakes and talks about how much she has learned over the years. Love her candid comments. Several references to gardens in Europe that provided inspiration. Not a detailed how-to book per se, but there are plant identification pages for some of the plants in each of her gardens. I loved it.

This Bunny Williams book, is such a fabulous ,picturesque,more than expedited,beautiful photography of her years in her Connecticut home. This would be a fabulous gift to give a friend that gardens!

This book is great for inspiration for your own garden or outdoor space. Lots of beautiful, big, high quality pictures of her gardens and plant specimens taking up the whole page or two. no squinting needed. I enjoy looking through it but it is not much for reading. Bunny does share insight to what her gardens are, how her gardens come to be and how they are connected. I find the book is lacking in organization of text and photos that belong after the readings. Readings are begun on one page but are interrupted with two or three pictures before starting where the reading left off, it does not flow as a book would. The pictures following the mini chapters are plant specimens and the garden space without captions. Captions with extra information or tips and tricks would add a nice touch. I believe that photos from above would benefit the reader on how the whole space is laid out, no space left unseen. An inspiring and beautiful book for sure, but a little bit more organization of photos and writing would make the book even better.

There are so many beautiful pictures in this book to give you inspiration in your garden. I really love it! I really love that she writes about the history of her garden, when she began it and why she put things in certain places. It is not a how to book at all. It is completely about her personal garden and I absolutely love it!

This book is huge! Well worth the price based on high quality pictures and thick paper. Very disappointed with the seller/shipper, because I received a damaged book. I think I was packed poorly.

I have quite the collection of garden books and I have to say this might be my all time favorite. Bunny's house and gardens are beyond beautiful and so inspirational. I love all the antique garden pieces that she mixes into her design too. I can't recommend this book enough. I bought this book for my parents too and they love it. It makes a great gift for a gardener in your life. 5 stars all the way!

This is a stunning book in so many ways! And if you are a lover of great gardens, started from scratch, developed over many years, by an owner who has far more passion than experience … you’ll love Bunny’s garden, story and ability to make it so relatable! Now - to the book itself - it’s enormous! And very heavy! It would make a fantastic gift. And most importantly it’s beautifully designed … every single page is carefully thought through and every picture is stunning. And the writing is wonderful … it takes you through Bunny’s entire gardening journey, together with her beloved husband and later her children. She includes her hand drawn map of the garden early in the book so that readers can visualise what she’s describing, enabling the pictures to become really relevant and helpful. And they use two types of paper throughout, so that you differentiate between the writing and the photographs, it’s very carefully thought through. It’s a passion project that can be treated as an incredibly beautiful coffee table book … or an amazingly detailed account that can give both aspiring or experienced gardeners a real understanding of how they built their garden and why. Or both! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

価格はそれなりにするのですが、写真のクオリティ、内容、ボリューム全て満足です。海外の方のレビューもとても参考になり、購入してよかったです。

Even though I am not a gardner, as I read the book I felt very inspired to dedicate even more love and care to the projects I am involved. The book also showcases the joyfulness of team work. Congrats! What a wonderful life in the garden!

It's a beautiful book with beautiful photograhy. Love the way Bunny writes.

I don’t anticipate books from many authors with such excitement but Bunny Williams is the exception. She is a design icon and this book does not disappoint. It is light on text but the sumptuous photography more than makes up for that. It is pure escapism and a delight to curl up with. Even if you don’t have a garden you can enjoy dreaming. An essential addition to your design library.
