Life in the Garden

Bunny Williams, renowned interior design and garden guru, will present a virtual talk, Life in the Garden, Thursday, April 18, at 2PM as part of the Garden Conservancy’s Public Program series.

In her new book Bunny Williams: Life in the Garden, she shares her passion for planting, entertaining and living amidst nature year-round. In the program she will share photos of her Falls Village garden from all four seasons and the lessons she’s learned as she created her elaborate design.

Williams' intensively planted 15-acre estate has a sunken garden with twin perennial borders surrounding a fishpond, a seasonally changing parterre garden, a year-round conservatory filled with tropical plants, a large vegetable garden with flowers and herbs, a woodland garden with meandering paths, and a pond with a waterfall.

There are also a working greenhouse and an aviary with chickens, an apple orchard with mature trees, a rustic Greek Revival-style pool house folly and a swimming pool with 18th-century French coping.

The Garden Conservancy through an ongoing roster of public programs addresses the “why” of gardening and seeks to create a national cohort of engaged and curious enthusiasts. Online registration is now available for all Garden Conservancy events through June.
