MADOO: THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN GARDEN
Madoo comes alive in this soon-to-be-published book by authors Alejandro Saralegui and Kendell Cronstrom. Photographed throughout an entire year by Tria Giovan, the gardens, interiors and art of Robert Dash shine like never before.
Advance praise:
“This book is like a ship in a bottle, capturing with miraculous clarity and containment a garden in full sail—a pocket rocket bursting out of a potato field in the middle of the Hamptons.”
—Christopher Woodward, Director, The Garden Museum, London
“How lucky we are, at long last, to have this account of the making of Madoo, Robert Dash’s widely admired property on Long Island. The photos and illustrations, along with notes from Dash’s journals and essays by those who knew him, shed light on Madoo’s evolution and what has made it so magical for nearly sixty years.”
—Frances Palmer, author, Life with Flowers
ANNUAL APPEAL
Madoo cannot happen without your generosity, whether it’s getting a door painted, a sofa reupholstered, or filling in a patch of bare soil. As we work toward an even better Madoo, please consider making a gift to the Conservancy. Your gift can have an impact and make a difference. Donate here today.
