I love the graceful mimosa in the background and these photos only begin to capture the gardens. I hope you will venture out for yourself and visit LongHouse.

LONGHOUSE
It's notcha ordinary garden tour. In fact if you read information on the LongHouse website, the mission of LongHouse is to exemplify living with art in all forms. As we were planning our excursion to the Hamptons, Aggie mentioned a visit to LongHouse and I knew it would be a memorable day. Jack Larson, the international textile designer, founded LongHouse, and I'm going to skip all the narration and just share pictures. You will see the sculpture of the falling woman that was added after 9/11, the chess set that was donated by Yoko Ono, and a circle of benches that reminded me of Cornwall's Merry Maidens. Enjoy the garden and the art and IF you are lucky enough to make it to the Hamptons, don't miss LongHouse.

ReplyDeleteIt looks that your garden tour was a fun and at the same time beneficial. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing place - I enjoyed the photos and was glad to have a bit of an explanation, as it's not like any garden I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat garden. Maybe I will make it to Hamptons one day. I wonder if they will ever film at this garden for TV show Royal Pains? I started watching the show because of the Hanmptons scenery and homes.Eye candy!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to see the garden through your eyes. Gorgeous. sandie
