A Garden for All Seasons by Kate Markert
Enter the garden paradise of Marjorie Merriweather Post s Washington, D.C., estate in this first book on the history and design of the remarkable grounds.
"Although the beautiful Washington, DC., estate of the heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post is temporarily closed, you can still wander its lush gardens in this gorgeous coffee-table book. Orchids bloom in the greenhouse, and fifteen rose cultivars wind through a fragrant garden awash in pink, red, white, and yellow blooms. Another note of loveliness: The beloved Virginia-based interior designer Charlotte Moss writes the foreword." —GARDEN & GUN
"While many visitors go to Hillwood to see the collections of Faberge eggs, Sevres porcelain, Russian Imperial and French decorative art, others go to see the 13 acres of formal gardens that will simply take your breath away, even in these times.But now, you can visit Hillwood in a new book by Hillwood's executive director, Kate Markert, in A Garden for All Seasons: Marjorie Merriweather Post's Hillwood(Rizzoli Electa, 2020).Markert takes you through the history of the gardens, including Post's collaborations with prominent landscape architects Innocenti & Webel and Perry Wheeler, who helped her realize her vision for the gardens. As Markert says in the preface to the book, "She paid attention to every detail of the gardens' design and directed their creation with specificity and clarity. Each garden room at Hillwood has its own mood and function, resulting in different forms of beauty at different times of the year." —GARDENDESIGNONLINE.COM
