Hosted by the ICAA Washington Mid-Atlantic Chapter
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.
There will be an option to tour the gardens on October 24, 2025. This will be a separate invitation.
Speakers:
Rachel Heslop is the Senior Project Coordinator at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation, set up by Rachel “Bunny” Mellon to facilitate and inspire scholarship and public dialogue on the history and future of plants.
Lilí Herrera PLA, ASLA, (BA Smith College, MLA Cornell University, MPS Hort. Cornell University) is a Principal at OvS and has been a member of the team since 2011.
