Description
The Rockefeller family is synonymous with great wealth, extraordinary philanthropy, and exceptional stewardship of unspoiled landscapes. In their private world, the Rockefellers have created extraordinary gardens. Over the course of a century, their grounds have matured and evolved to reflect the layered visions of three generations of the Rockefeller family. At Kykuit in the Hudson Valley, John D. Rockefeller valued broad expanses of lawns with a noble forest of evergreens at the perimeter. His son, John D. Rockefeller Jr., molded this landscape into a more formal Beaux-Arts garden design. This garden was later enhanced by Nelson A. Rockefeller?s addition of an extensive collection of twentieth-century sculpture, which is still in place today. In 'The Rockefeller Family Gardens', photographer Larry Lederman gives readers unprecedented access to the two Kykuit gardens, the expansive Beaux-Arts style garden and a little-known Japanese garden, brought to life by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller.
