Bunny Mellon’s contributions to garden history are known around the world. While she is perhaps most famous for her work on the gardens at the White House, it was at her Little Oak Spring home in Upperville, Virginia where Mrs. Mellon gardened as a form of self expression.

Join the Oak Spring Garden Foundation and Oehme, van Sweden & Associates for an illustrated lecture that explores the Little Oak Spring Landscape Report, a document that guides the property’s landscape renewal and provides a framework to preserve its history, beauty, and culture.
