[Music] Well, as we begin this grand I’m just going to call it a pilgrimage. age because I feel like I’ve made a pilgrimage to come here to Bunny Williams home. U so iconic to me for many many years and for many many reasons. But we’re going to start out we got a we got a map. Um and we’re going to start out now by with the approach the approach up to the pool house which is like a rustic Greek revival structure that you do not see it from the house. It was very much, as she describes, a place of destination. She didn’t want to be able to see it during the wintertime from the house. But what I love is the way she took something that was absolutely classic uh architecturally a nod to the area and the architecture in the area, the architecture of her home. But then she put the twist on it and it is all done in rustic woods with appointments of pine cones all speaking the language of the wooded garden and her wood garden woodland garden. And so you can see it up here. It sits up high on a hill as uh as a Greek revival structure would do I guess in Athens or someplace like that. So the situation, how it is positioned on and in the landscape is absolutely wonderful. But as compelling as that is, let’s take a moment. We don’t want to ignore what we are walking amongst and we are walking through the orchard. Um the approaches through the orchard. Uh, if I understand it correctly, these are wild flowers that are in bloom at different times of year underneath the canopy of the orchard. It in and of itself is just completely completely magical. And then when you come up at the crest, you see the structure itself. [Music] Well, you’ve heard that expression, what came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, here it was the desire to have a pool that came first. Um, Bunny’s husband, John, said that he wanted to have a pool. again at some distance from the house. And it was John who identified this these mass massive stones surrounding the perimeter of the pool itself. Absolutely gorgeous. And that kind of I guess then dictated that they had to have a pool to use these beautiful massive stones. Bunny talks about it in our interview. And then because the pool was a destination, it wasn’t contiguous to the home itself, there had to be a structure here to serve as a pool house. The pool house has a little it has a small kitchen. It has restrooms. It is um a living space in and of itself, separate and apart from the rest of the property. It’s really really beautiful. Um, as as a friend of mine said, you could sit here in these chairs. You can overlook the property. You can also sit at any depth on the varying stages of the steps that go down into the pool. And you can feel completely submersed not only in the pool, but also in this section of the property, which is absolutely magnificent. Okay, this may be a pool house and it may be um away from the main house, but nevertheless, it has all of the comforts of home. There’s a dining space here. There’s even dog beds. Um there’s a living room area, a big fireplace, which I think is so important to make this area livable and also really expand its ability to be used throughout the four seasons. Um, I love the scale. Everything here is just so appropriately in scale. The massive stone fireplace. Um, the stag that is just wonderful on as an appointment on the mantle itself, the lanterns, the wicker. It speaks a language of the outdoors. It speaks a language of the woods. It feels very much hobbitike. And um, well, let’s just say I could live here. Well, as we leave the rustic Greek Revival pool house, we are then going to take the path and we’re going to approach the studio. And again, I don’t want to miss out on anything along the way. So, look at this magnificent sculpture. Our friend Roger would absolutely adore this. I’m sure it’s probably from a local artisan. Maybe we can find out more about that. But then the path is the approach to the beautiful courtyard that is in the foreground of her studio which apparently she spent a great amount of time in during CO. Um she restored it right before CO and happily it was done in time for her to I guess kind of take her sbatical of sorts enforced sbatical here on her property in this beautiful studio and I can already feel myself swooning over these dog woods. I mean I’m first of all that they’re still they’re still in bloom. Anything in Oklahoma that uh certainly not comparable any of of the dogwoods we would have in bloom would be long done by now. And it looks like she’s got a huge hedge of what I am guessing are Annabel hydrangeas right here that are getting ready to come into bloom at my cottage garden. These are already in full bloom and probably going to be waning. And then this is one of the things that she was talking about that tension between the structural and the architectural and then the blousy imbullance of the things growing in the foreground or in the background. Really really beautiful use of all organic materials. Um carefully placed finials granite that probably was locally sourced. I’m going to guess the stonework. Again, a sensual experience. You can hear the crunch of the gravel. It feels so good underfoot. And then it’s just a textural extravaganza. Not a lot of color. I really like the restraint here. Not a lot of color, but the some of the same notes of of folar hues that we saw at Hollister House. So, I love the way one type of leaf and one type of texture insinuates itself into the other and comes up and grows through and then these marvelous color echoes here of the emerging fern foliage and then the foliage next to it in the stillbe. Really, really incredible. Okay, now here’s a try this at home. So this beautiful, beautiful courtyard would be easy to replicate in another area because its lines are very very straightforward. It’s just two parallel borders that face one another and then it is circumscribed by these two large arborvita and two smaller arboritas at the top of the steps. So you can see how it is contained, how it’s symmetrical, but how the borders are just perfectly asymmetrical. So, I love the expression of this courtyard. So you you come up out of this kind of narrow pathway and then you have which is very intimate and very lovely and close and then you come up and you’re kind of born into this beautiful larger area that almost is just kind of like a a landing pad before then it narrows again and you come up into the secondary courtyard right in the foreground of the studio. Well, there’s about a million try this at home type of things that we could be doing here. But I mean, look at this. The hens and chicks that are directly in the gravel. There’s other things growing in the gravel. But but this is the most surprising to me. I just love this effect. And then I see little pockets across the courtyard. I can see them there, too. And it is just I think the brilliance of these kind of garden tours is there is something everywhere you look. And you could probably go through this garden a million times and every time you came you could see something else. And you have to constantly remind yourself to look up, look down, look across, look for, look through, look in so many different ways because you will miss out on something if you don’t. So over here, these mammoth, I don’t know if these are green giant arbor. I’m not sure what these are, what variety they are, but here over here, we have some of those hens and chicks. I am definitely stealing this idea for my own tiny gravel garden in the back. And then like every great garden, a garden isn’t just a static thing. It’s a dynamic thing. It’s experiential and you feel immersed in the experience. And so this fountain right here is a perfect example of that. Everything is just it’s it’s so beautifully choreographed. Restrained color palette up here that mimics what we saw below, but with different kinds of different kinds of plantings here. Absolutely beautiful. Here, there are some sedums. There are some things that probably don’t need quite as much tending. Um, however, the Silver Falls dicondra, I’m going to guess eventually spills o out over the edge and will require some snipping, a haircut or two throughout the course of the season, but it’s just magnificent. And then there’s a form that I don’t talk about very much. We talk about ovals. We talk about uh, you know, linear shapes and forms, mounded shapes and forms, but I don’t talk a lot a lot about the importance of weeping forms. And it’s used very very effectively here. This looks like some kind of weeping u. Something that would be non-existent in Oklahoma, but it’s absolutely magical here. I could be wrong on IDing that plant, but it creates just fabulous layering and it feels like it just is cascading down and towards the foreground. Again, a textural extravaganza with all sorts of different color echoes starting in the foreground with the hooker to the sedums in the back and then to some different flowerings. I maybe even see some loopins in the distance. Um, but it’s just that cascading subtle color that also starts in the back and cascades down to the front and maybe some blue sea holly that will join the show later on in the season. Okay. Oh my gosh. Love, love, love these pears. And are they Oh, they’re light. So, these are real gourds. These are real gourds that have been patined. And they are absolutely brilliant. And look at this marvelous sculpture, iron sculpture of this leaf. A nod. Indooroutdoor living. Oh my word. Okay, this is a try this at home. I have some really large gourds. Maybe not as large as these, but I think I am going to put this kind of aged gold patina on them. As Bunny said, she likes everything with patina. Well, Father, forgive me. I have lust in my heart um about so many things in the garden, so many different places, but boy, wouldn’t you like to have a studio like this? I have an exercise studio in it as well as a creative studio. All of it is just very earthly decorated in true Bunny Williams style and in her signature signature pallets. Um, absolutely fabulous. Look at the tapestry behind the exercise bikes, exercise equipment. Um, I think I could work out in here pretty effortlessly. I wouldn’t even have to I wouldn’t even dread this.
Okay. Definitely my favorite space so far. This is her studio. You come up that very modern stairway with the glass railing and this is where she worked during co. You can see over here all of her sample swatches, her very very extensive library with all the perfect appointments. Um, wouldn’t we all like to have a mood board like this over here? And then this is just a very, very warm, engaging space where you could let your creativity, your creative juices flow. Now, she it is used as a workspace. So, she does some entertaining up here. Um, she’s got a small beverage area, but she emphatically didn’t really want anything with a heating element, I understand, up here because she didn’t want it to be a kitchenet or a living space. very much. She wanted it to remain a work space where she could work, entertain clients, hands-on kind of thing, but as always, very bunny-esque, making sure that it was as comfortable as possible, appointed beautifully, organized beautifully, and very, very reminiscent of her style. I mean, this area is is just incredible. Look at this mammoth agave here in the corner. Look at these stone. I don’t know if those would be they wouldn’t be pine cones. They look like some kind of tropical fruit. The surround of her extensive library. She obviously paints. She’s just a creative force. And you can come up here and see how it relates to the other end of the studio. with a A-frame. Um, when she redid this place, I understand she wanted to take um the structural beams out because she wanted nothing to impede the aireriness of the space. If I have this correct, I may not. Um, but she put these cables in. It’s it’s white. It’s got layering. Um, the lighting is incredible. Well, everything about it is pretty incredible. Okay, we’re leaving the center courtyard now and we are approaching the woodland garden. There is a drive that comes up here. So, this is not only an open area from a design standpoint, but it’s a practical area as well. She can she can park up here because obviously she’ll be bring bringing clients up here, uh canvases, different types of things. And from a practical standpoint, there is a drive and an approach to it. But off of a completely opposite to the drive up, there’s the path that goes into the woodland garden. I mean, just look at this magnificent slope and it’s sweep of Solomon seal and fern and all sorts of different ground covers. Looks like some falsa steel be. And then there’s all sorts of of just different beautiful red buds. And here is something. Here’s a take this, you know, take it home for me. I have got to have a red bud of this variety. I don’t know what variety it is. I’ve not seen it before. But look at that. Look at the new pinky growth. It’s absolutely spectacular. So quiet. It is so serene in here. You can hear the birds. And even though this looks just so absolutely natural, trust me, I’m seeing things that that would not be normally growing in a woodland garden. I see all sorts of coral bells. I I see epimeidiums. I see just every variety of fern possible. Forget me knots. You name it. If it wants a woodland environment is probably growing in here. And you talk about probably the garden that relates to the area the best. I I geographically I think this really feels like it does. And it’s probably 15 degrees cooler in here than it is in other parts of the garden. I love the mossiness that grows on the benches. It repeats the mossiness on the huge boulders down in here. Well, my goodness. I could stroll coffee or wine in hand for that matter. It could be a soda pop and I would be absolutely happy. It is just spectacular. Oh my gosh, I am absolutely mesmerized by this. I am I love the railing. And as I understand it, this magical space down here was a natural inversion. Look at the little waterfall. But as I understand it, it was a natural dip, a natural inversion in the contours of the landscape. And she said, and it was just begging for a pond. And truly truly, it was. I’m I’m guessing that this is a manufactured probably little waterfall. But boy, it could not look more natural. It could not read more natural. It has very much of an Appalachian feel. And it is just it is simply spectacular. Look here. I don’t know if that’s a trillium. That’s a question of the day for me. A trillium. And that looks like some kind of I don’t know, a pin stemon or a fox glove. And then there’s still the hint, the shadow of hellaors that no doubt were spectacular a very short time ago. This is a magnificent. Try this at home. I mean, look at this gentle gentle suggestion or order not to go in this direction, not to follow this path. This is something that you could replicate yourself with the bamboo stakes. It just again, imagine what it would look like. This versus a great big old yellow sign that says do not enter. Well, it it really just comes to me that this is such an American garden. It is just so much about the landscape. It’s so much about New England. It is just steeped in history. And every reflection of of something just seems to be a reflection of the best of of America. So the phoba everywhere just it just looks like such a natural part of the landscape. And no doubt I’m sure many of these pieces came from her store in New York City. triage. Her and and John, I think, had a had an antique dealership or an antique shop nearby. So, it it not only speaks to the the landscape itself, but it also speaks to her past and her both business past and her and her gardening life. It has just been uh edited out. All of the things that would impede the beauty of the plant itself have been edited out. Um, and even I’ I’ve noticed the way she has all of her trees pruned. You can so see the architecture of the trees. And she also does something that I love that’s a little bit controversial. And that’s pruning in with kind of a really dramatic lion’s tail. And I just I love that it I I have not found it really to be detrimental to the plant. And I think the effect is absolutely stunning. As I said, you have to look everywhere and you have to look beyond and through. And look at that gorgeous statue up there as we pass through these beautiful roodendrrons. Look how gorgeous these dogwoods are. And the boxwoods just look as if they’re rolling down the hill to the stone fence in the front. And I mean, I just I am completely seduced by this garden in so many different ways. And we’ve got more to see. Uh but some of the stuff that we’re going to be doing in the future, I’m just going to go quiet. I want you guys to really experience what it’s like to see this property on your own, to walk it on your own. If I see something I really want to point out to you, then I will. But I also want you to feel how it is to be here without my talking um over the beauty that surrounds us. [Music] And now we kind of come through this portal of cedars and back to the barn and the conservatory and the part just outside of the windows where uh Bunny just so graciously visited with us.
Oh my god. and
Linda. Oh my god.
Hello.
I love you. And then there’s, you know, obviously this arbor here in this passage here. And then if you look back towards the conservatory over the beautifully clipped part of the boxwood and then across the lawn at those arbors and on the way. Appreciate. Look at the size of this clemetus. Look at the size of this Clemetus. Give you an idea of scale. [Music] So, I love these kind of spaces. They’re the they’re the liinal spaces between inside and outside that you can use for entertaining and you’re kind of a little bit of both. You’re both inside the dwelling and you’re out in the garden. This right now she has set up for hospitality for the garden tour. She’s got water, she’s got tea, she’s got topiaries, which just um just makes me love her all the more. But one thing I have noticed that I’m really going to embrace, she has so much purple oxales in so many different places. And I’ve noticed some of her uh her her citrus fruit um kind of a mini ore on the other side. She’s got potted citrus and and she’s got it underplanted with this purple oxalus and she’s got pots of it absolutely everywhere. And it’s a nod to the different kinds of purple almost black appointments that she’s got other places like the passion vine right here. And talk about a color echo. Look at the interior of that. And then these black patunias. And then there’s darkd um dalas. And then boy, I am loving my figs even more. I may have to thin mine out a little bit to really expose the gorge, gorgeous architecture and structure of the limbs themselves. But look at this. These these areas with the container plantings and things just really really um well, I just have to embrace the moment. This reminds me a little bit of the facade of PL and Smith’s place at at Moss Mountain Farm. the double level, the the uh dimensionality of it really reminds me of that. And it’s just beauty, beauty everywhere you look in potted specimens, all sorts of things. But then look down, there’s so much creeping time. I spy woolly time, the lychans, everything is aged, that perfect patina. And then in this courtyard, the corners are punctuated by these plantings. This is something that I have helped people do many many times and that is circumscribe and define a space with the use of potted specimens. It also softens the space because even if if you turn around and you look out into the expanse of the garden, even if the uge weren’t there, nevertheless, this area, this courtyard area would be defined with just with the placement of the boxwood topiaries, the boxwood balls in the containers. And then looking beyond at that rolling he u hedge and these mammoth mammoth utopiary. Well, it’s just living art. Well, there’s all sorts of garden tourists here today and I I feel like I am just absolutely engulfed in scent. I mean, the fragrance in here, this rose arbor, the rustic quality of it, um, you can hardly tell, you can barely tell the difference between the arbor itself and the canes that are growing up and through it. And there’s just this divine aireriness to it. So, you don’t feel claustrophobic in any way. You can kind of see through the roses. And I I will need to identify what this rose is. But it’s its rambling climbing habit is spectacular eyeball. And then over here there’s also some wisteria and you can see it blooming in patches. So I’m sure it’s also contributing its scent. And then more uh faux wa but iron furniture. Hello kitty. Hello kitty. Okay, so we come off of the back of the house and this is the first garden that she installed when she and I hate the word installed. This is the first garden she started when she moved here. It’s the sunken garden and apparently it has evolved over time. entrances from both ways. Everything that every change I think she did was perhaps made to exaggerate the drama of the topographical change. The fact that it is sunken and there are parters here with perennials that are just un unbelievably magical. Notice how there are these fabulous metal tutours in the center of them that are works of art. they don’t necessarily have to have anything growing on them to be magical in those spaces. Um, and then again, there’s that tension between the clipped boxwood and the abundance, the profusion of perennial bloom inside the confines of the boxwood uh, rectangles. And then there’s these giant arborvita. Um, if you lived in this area, as my friend John said, and you want really instant drama, then you could just do something like this. It would require maintenance, but things grow here so quickly that you could get instant drama like that. Not so much in my neck of the woods, but you could do a mini version of this if you wanted to kind of circumscribe a space. But the other thing I think what speaks to me the most, I absolutely love all of this, but what makes this spectacular is imagine what this garden would look like without this stone wall at the top and the rhythm and repetition of what I’m guessing are zinc, some kind of metal planters that run across the top of the sunken garden on the stone wall. They’re all planted identically. And boy am I taking this formula down. You’re going to want to do a screenshot this here because they are filled with ardmas. They’re filled with um uh different kinds of coropsis, different silvery colors. Uh those same purple notes just it’s just absolutely magical. White patunias and that is repeated in everyone everyone of the planters. So you’ve got the drama of the verticality of this looks like even a form of dusty miller here. And it just kind of waves in the breeze. Again, it’s experiential. There’s movement. And then one is beautiful, but if one is beautiful, six is absolutely magnificent. And I’m having a little bit of aliium envy here because look at how beautifully despite all of her rain, look at how beautifully her aliiums performed here. And they look to be maybe ambassador or gladiator, but look at how beautifully they performed here. And of course, hers are still fresh. Lots of liies. It looks like lots of tall flocks. Um, magnificent, magnificent liies, oriental liies. Well, it is just it’s just absolutely fantastical. I don’t know how else to describe it with the boxwood balls, the boxwood segments, and each one in in in its individual state is is fabulous. But in totality, all of them together, there’s a synergy that is just impossible, I think, to really conceive unless you’re here looking at it. [Music] [Music] It’s dinner time. I think I think little Danny Jay is going to need one of these charming charming little play spaces. Oh, look. Oh. Oh, look. It’s the little potty training chair in there. Oh my gosh. And then we’re not going to spend a lot of time in this area of talking. I just want Stuart to catch the feel of it because we we don’t want to, you know, run the risk of capturing any children or anything like that that we wouldn’t have permission to shoot. But I mean, it’s absolutely magical. It reminds me of the movie Clouse with all of the different kinds of birdhouses in it. And I can only imagine on the still of a morning what this must be like filled with bird song and and also filled with the the sounds and the squeals and the laughter of little children. Well, boy, this is the kind of heartache that resonates with me. But look at what she has done to transform a garden tragedy into an absolute masterpiece. So this was a mammoth branch that came down off of a tree in the distance. And rather than remove it from the property, she crafted this gorgeous arbor, if you will. And then this fence that in this almost prehistoric way really accentuates just and I think captures what the nature of a garden is of you know it’s the agony and the ecstasy and the heartache of something that she has transformed into something that is just breathtakingly beautiful and is very very much a a storyline. This is what gardening is all about. Well, you don’t normally see these kind of grand floral arrangements in your average barn. This is all cutings, foliage, bloom, all from her her garden. And it comes together in this very constant spryesque arrangement that is billowy. has all sorts of movement and it is you well it’s just the the quintessential example of bringing the garden indoors. I mean and it is it is mammoth. Would you say that’s three to four feet wide um equally as tall? Really really magnificent and a wonderful punctuation point on this desk. And the desk is mammoth enough that there’s still room to actually do some work. Well, and then we’re going to transition from the house up here to the greenhouse and the cutting garden, which is of course the origin of so many of the components in that gorgeous, gorgeous arrangement in the barn. And this has I don’t know, it’s got to me a little bit more of a rustic feel. um almost more of a and I mean this in the most complimentary way kind of a humility to it that some of the other places don’t have with its rustic weathered wood. And here there are not the grand boxwood hedges, the highmaintenance boxwood hedges, but just simple edging, simple classic edging. Tidy rows. Once again, I am rethinking all of my figs and how they are pruned, different ways they can be used indoors and out, what fabulous focal points they make. This is also a very, very open space. This has more of an Oklahoma vibe to it to me. I can see um I can see this type of garden um on the prairie. It’s exposed to a lot more sun. I think because of that open feeling, you can really really appreciate all of the different fixtures here that are both utilitarian and ornamental like this. These bamboo teepeeas for the tomatoes, the cabbages, peppers, no doubt. Oh, basil. There it is. I was looking for it. She’s got sweet peas over here. Armisas. But in a very very fat flat not fat flat space like this, I think it’s really important that you have these punctuations of verticality throughout the garden because it makes it uh it makes it read in a much more interestingly visual way and it gives it dimension. Brussels sprouts. I mean, look here. This This is something very reminiscent of my part of the country. We see and use lots of this kind of weathered metal. A lot of it is oil field equipment that is repurposed into the garden. And I love the way all of the metal is aged, you know, just so it’s got that beloved patina that Bunny talks about. I see barely a pest, barely a blemished leaf. The other I probably one of the reasons for that is that there’s so much good air circulation in here unlike how I am at the cottage. Everything here is pretty spaced out. Um her lark spur is coming up so much later than mine. Mine is almost finished. And while mine grows in almost bush shapes, hers is very much individualized. She’s got poppies along the edge. Something that I’m trying to get started in my own garden. I definitely think I want some fennel. Her pianies look like they might just about be finished. She has a clear affection for liies. Looks like Asiatics and orientals. All sorts of apricot colored or citrus colored poppies that have bloomed and that are coming into bloom. Zenyas, greens, uninterrupted soldiers of different kinds of lettucees and things. I spy some love in the mist. Nigella, more sweet peas over here. Some salosia. I bet all of this as she, you know, fought her for her vase, fought her for the cutting garden or for the cutings for her her indoor gardens, I should say, sunflowers. And it’s not just it’s not just the blooms, it’s the foliage as well. And then we come full circle because here are these absolutely unbelievable delphinium that we saw in the indoor arrangement. How she was able to cut any of them. It always breaks my heart to cut things of such beauty. But obviously she had a few to spare. [Music] This is a fabulous greenhouse of curiosities. I mean, look at some of these specimens here. Most of which I am not familiar with. But the unique form, the unique growing pattern. Look at here. Just so many. Remember to always look up. Look at this. Look at this cacti. And you know what? I have something similar to this. This is This is some form of fishbone. Fishbone cactus. Different variety perhaps than I have. And then of course all of the topiary, the cyprus, the lavenders. It smells unbelievable in here. And I don’t know if you can hear it, but there’s a quiet strain of classical music. [Music] Okay. Now, I have I don’t know what’s in this next room, but I have been warned. I have been warned that I might pass out. So, I’m not sure, but we need to go in there and see what it is. And I’ll try to remain upright. Look at the lavender. Look at the Oh my goodness. Cuz don’t we all need a basket room? Yes.
Don’t we all need a basket room? Fantastic.
I have a little tiny shed that stops here. And I’m thinking even just whitewash it. Put a little bench there. Pop a window in.
Be wonderful. And look up here. Here’s a great try this at home, gentlemen. where you take some kind of woven basket or chandelier and it’s got the dried plumes and blooms of oakleaf hydrangea and different grasses. This area, if you haven’t been to Moss Mountain, have you been to Moss Mountain Farm? P Allen Smith’s home. He Yes, he’s got an he’s got,
you know, a a place like this that’s just that’s just exceptional. And I would just love to have a storage area like this. So, I’m covetous of not only the baskets, but of of just all the all the space, all the treasures. It didn’t disappoint. [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] Well, as much as I hate to leave, it is time to say goodbye to this exceptional exceptional garden. I’m going to say goodbye to the poultry. I’m going to say goodbye to the topiaries, to the baskets, to all of the amazing gardens. But mostly, I want to say goodbye to Bunny, whose graciousness and hospitality is just beyond measure to allow us into her home to enjoy these spaces and get a little glimpse of how she sees the world. And indeed, we have gotten that today. I hope you enjoyed this. Um, if you ever have a chance, you need to come to Falls Village and see Bunny Williams Home and Gardens. [Music]
