Snowwhite 0 #1 March 3, 2006 I need to get hold of an old copy of Nat'l Geographic from 2005, Mar. Anyone have an idea of how I could come up with one? I'm trying to find out some information (and get some pictures of) the Biltmore Gardens in Asheville, NC, and I understand that Fredric Law Olmstead was featured in the magazine, along with some of his garden designs.skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #5 March 3, 2006 My Mom lives about 20 minutes from Biltmore House and is a gardenator. PM me with specifics and she may be able to help. Olmsted also designed Pinehurst Village, my hometown in North Carolina (although I do not live in the Old Town section he designed).Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #6 March 3, 2006 MAN I MISS ASHEVILLE! Olmstead lit the garden bug in me BIG when I was a kid, and got to roam at the Biltmore. A friend of mine was a family friend of the Vanderbilt aunt who still lived in the mansion at the time. We got special treatment. All of the gardens I have built since then have had bits and pieces of The Biltmore in them. I am looking for some really great shots of the Italian garden, the Conservatory, and some of the garden architecture to show a client of mine who is getting ready to do a HUGE redo of her gardens, patios etc. I would also love some of the knot garden pictures, thru the seasons. There have to be some really great books out there on the subject, but I'll be darned if I ( or Borders, or Waldenbooks) can find them.skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowwhite 0 #8 March 3, 2006 I've been trying to get on that site, but I keep getting an error message. The first page has all kinds of gifts, the rest of the time it says that page can't be open.. I did call the Biltmore and ask them to call me and sell it to me over the phone, hope they call tomorrow. Thanks for the help!skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #9 March 3, 2006 Try using just http://shop.biltmore.com/ There's a dropdown for books. Couple of good coffee table books that look like they have lots of photos! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
