June Garden and Gallery Tours at Oak Spring
The Oak Spring Garden Foundation is a legacy of the designer, horticulturalist and philanthropist Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon. Mrs. Mellon’s hope was that her extensive collection of rare books, artwork, and other materials relating to plants, gardens, and landscapes could continue to be used for education and inspiration.
Come be inspired by her formal walled garden and bask in the shade of the Mary Potter crabapple arbor as you take a self-paced walking tour through the marvelous landscape in Upperville, Virginia. Selections from “Fantastic Flora” a digital educational exhibit that blends art, culture, history, and science to explore the role of plants in both human history and the natural world will be featured.
On view in the Gallery will be our latest exhibition “The Final Resting Place Of President John F. Kennedy: The Untold Story Of A Lost Memorial.” The exhibition celebrates the discovery of a poignant but never fully implemented memorial for the gravesite of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Jean Schlumberger, then at Tiffany & Co., with support from Rachel ‘Bunny’ Lambert Mellon at the request of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. The exhibition celebrates these friendships using archival material from the Oak Spring Garden Library and features art from Sara Lindsay, an alumna of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation Artist in Residency Program.
