Rare is the USA garden passed amongst generations.
.
Aerin Lauder's Southampton garden began with her grandmother.
.
More amazing than Aerin inheriting a lovely garden, she's kept it a lovely garden. Without sacrificing her 'voice'. Says much about her ego, confidence, talent.
.
Photographer Garance Dore, below, recently shot Aerin's garden.
Pruned hedge, above, a Flying Buttress. The event for the table must be delightful, but how the vignette is framed by the photographer, magic.
Combing classic & modern, above. Metaphor, Lauder's grandmother & Aerin.
My mother-in-law was a professional photographer and this foodie shot, above, made me smile and remember how many hundreds of them she took, and, how she used food as a magnet gathering her grown children, their spouses, and grandchildren around her. Only the best, and in decadent amounts
.
Basket, above. My basket collection is beyond decadence in quantity, must reduce, and my best antique basket is similar. Perhaps Aerin inherited this basket from her grandmother. Hope so, incredible having such a useful touchstone to someone she loved.
.
Few garden photographers excite me. Garance Dore, shooting Aerin's garden, feels like a gift, and a Madeleine.
.
Enjoy the complete Garance Dore Lauder shoot, here.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

If you like good garden photography, enjoy, Clive Nichols.
Older, established gardens have a richness that is delightful.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely. I once met Estee many many many years ago. The entire family exudes style and elegance. Great post.
ReplyDeleteOh my! If I inherited such a lovely garden it would most definitely be easy to leave my ego at the gate!
