Looking for ideas to jazz up your summer garden? Green thumb Hamptonites recently had the opportunity to judge a spectacular line-up of incredible garden masterpieces in a crowd-pleasing Horticultural Competition, PLANTERS: On + Off the Ground VI.  Talented and illustrious artists, gardeners, and landscapers competed at East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve, which is a spectacular non-profit art garden, museum, and education organization.

The night ended with guests casting their votes for their favorite garden planter and acclaimed judges Tovah Martin, Paula Deitz, and Jack deLashmet each presented awards to the winning designs and honorable mentions.  Good news! The exhibit will remain open for you to visit through July 27th.

“LongHouse Reserve brings together art and nature, aesthetics and spirit, with the strong conviction that living with art in all its forms is central to living fully and living creatively.”
