This is a story about the decline and rebirth of a 100 year old garden. Until recently, the Blue Garden, an icon of Gilded Age splendour in Newport, Rhode Island, was known only from hand-tinted slides dating from 1917.

Landscape historian Arleyn A. Levee tells a researched narrative about the garden's origins, development, heyday, decay and ultimate renaissance.
