Bunny Mellon Estate Rental

Exclusive Michelle Sylvia luxury rental collection home. Bunny Mellon, the prominent American horticulturist and philanthropist, was known for her love of gardening and landscaping. Her passion for creating beautiful gardens led her to purchase a property at 19 Indian Trail in Oyster Harbors, Cape Cod. Mrs. Mellon immediately set to work on designing and planting her gardens. She created a series of outdoor rooms, each with its theme and character. There was a white garden, a blue garden, a rose garden, and a vegetable garden, all meticulously planned and maintained.

Over the years, Mellon continued to refine and enhance her gardens, adding new plants and features. She brought in rare and exotic specimens from around the world and created a one-of-a-kind collection of plants and trees. Mellon's gardens at 19 Indian Trail became renowned throughout the world of horticulture. They were featured in countless magazines and books. Mellon herself became a celebrated figure in the gardening world, and she was often consulted by presidents and other political figures on matters of landscaping and design. She was known for her elegant taste, her signature garden architecture, and her close relationships with some of the most influential people in American history, including the Kennedys. Jaqueline Kennedy was a frequent visitor at the property. Despite her fame and success, Mellon remained humble and down-to-earth. She continued to work on her gardens herself, often spending long hours weeding and pruning. She also used her love of gardening to give back to her community, donating plants and funding projects to beautify public spaces. Today, Mrs. Mellon's gardens at 19 Indian Trail are still maintained. This remains a testament to her passion for horticulture and her dedication to creating beauty in the world.
