Included within are the classically inspired, 654-acre gardens of Filoli near San Francisco, a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation-an estate with grounds of such alluring beauty that many times the cameras of Hollywood have come here to film the Huntington Library Gardens in San Marino, one of the most important botanical gardens in the world and the opulent and strange but wildly popular Lotusland in Montecito, a fantasy world of exquisite beauty created by Madam Ganna Walska with famed designer Lockwood de Forest. Other gardens featured are in Pebble Beach, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, and Rancho Palos Verdes. It is the plant palette of almost endless possibilities that makes California's great gardens so breathtaking. In Estate Gardens a rare and privileged glimpse of these possibilities is given. / Melba Levick is a widely published and exhibited photographer based in Paris and Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in more than twenty books and numerous magazine articles both in Europe and in the United States. Levick has worked on many Rizzoli titles, including the best selling Casa California.
