Eastern Long Island Open Day
The Garden Conservancy's
OPEN DAYS PROGRAM
Eastern Long Island Open Day SUFFOLK COUNTY BRIDGEHAMPTON ENTWOOD GARDEN 100 Chase Court, Bridgehampton 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is an informal but structured seven acre, contoured landscape seeking to combine intimate gardens, intriguing plant, tree and rock specimens, welcoming habitats, expansive views, and recreational spaces. Originally a flat potato field, it centers around two large naturalistic koi ponds nurtured by wetland filter systems, surrounded by open lawn and arboretum areas which in turn give way to border plantings of mature evergreen and deciduous trees, hidden paths, and shade gardens. Entering through the front gate, you are greeted by a colorful cottage garden partially shaded by a mature crabapple, a Japanese pagoda- tree and yellow deodar cedar. Continuing west under a weeping atlas-cedar archway, you pass a small Asian-style pond and garden on the left and a kitchen, lily, and rose garden on the right. A partially hidden path under a stand of cedars of Lebanon leads to a hidden koi pond overhung by Himalayan pines. Crossing north through the pond on stones set in the water, the path opens onto a lawn bordered on the left by Alaskan cedar, cryptomeria, Skyrocket English oak, sweetgum, Callery pear, and tulip trees. Walking north underneath magnolias, corkscrew willows, silverbells, and snowbells, you see to the east an arboretum including trifloram and snakebark maples, tall and Chinese stewartia, gingko, and other small trees. Continuing north, you enter a short path
through a garden shaded by dawn redwoods. Emerging on the north from the path, look to see if one of the dove trees is sporting its “handkerchief” flowers—but beware of the tiger pine nearby which can cause a rash if grasped. Continue north over the golf green and turn right to examine an unusual small-leaf black oak hybrid. Continuing east you will enter a small grove of sweetgum (rotundiloba, moraine, and variegata) underplanted with "Wolf Eye" dogwood and a columnar dove tree. You then have a choice of continuing along a narrow path heavily planted with shade bushes, perennials and groundcover, or entering a broader allée which affords a view of the large koi ponds to your right. If you continue east, you will come to a grouping of cherry trees with an evodia, purple catalpa, Maackia amurensis, and another snakebark maple. Further east there is a gazebo surrounded by a ring of red maples. You may want to sit in the gazebo and enjoy the southern view over a runoff stream bed planted with wildflowers and grasses, and bordered by unusual bald and pond cypress, "Eskimo Sunset" maple, seven son flower, trees and native bushes. A hill rises on the far side of the stream bed crowned by Vanderwolf and eastern white pine. A zigzag rustic bridge takes you down the stream bed through a native stand of black cherry and red cedar to the northeast entrance to the garden. Turning right at the gate and walking south on the gravel driveway, you will see a collection of Florida and kousa dogwood and a sculpture with a recognizable if somewhat unusually depicted theme before reaching a basketball court shaded by columnar tulip trees, variegated columnar sweetgum, sassafras,
Saturday, June 11 | Hours Vary and variegated zelkova. As you turn around, you see additional dogwood varieties planted up the side of the hill topped with upward arching Himalayan pines. Proceeding north along the foot of the hill, you may view native sourwood, witchhazel, and high- and low-bush blueberry and examine more closely the seven son flower trees. Turning west and then south and ascending the hill affords you a dramatic view across the garden to the west. On the south side of the hill, you descend through a tiered rock garden planted with dwarf and miniature evergreens, gingko, and Japanese maples before entering a fruit orchard. Turning right and proceeding west along the gravel driveway takes you past Swiss stone pine, trident and paperbark maple, parrotia, lacebark pine, ‘Forest Pansy,’ and other flowering trees, and brings you finally to the large koi ponds. Pause at your own risk as their movements can be hypnotic. Look for the many fry (baby koi). You may be lucky and see a kingfisher or heron, though the fish line strung over the ponds is an effective shield. Be sure to also visit the upper pond with its arching bridge before continuing east on a hidden path which passes yellow full moon maples and the unusual Disanthus cercidifolius before bringing you to the pool garden with its colorful display of annuals and perennials. A short path south takes you past a hidden koi pond (where we quarantine new koi prior to release into the general population) and returns you to the front cottage garden.

Chase Court. Number 100 is last house on right. If coming from Sag Harbor, go south onto Sag Main Turnpike. Turn right onto Scuttle Hole Road. Then turn left onto Lumber Lane. Take the first right onto Chase Court to #100 (last house on right). Please park on the street.
EAST HAMPTON GLADE GARDEN 44 Glade Road, East Hampton 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tranquility and serenity are the main reactions to a half-acre niche carved from the native woodland. The overall impression is one of green textures, but hiding in plain sight is a collection of rare and unusual flowering trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. Hellebores, camellias, and minor bulbs hold sway through April and are succeeded by daphnes, epimedium, fragrant early rhododendrons, and other woodland plants in May. During the summer, color comes from a progression of hydrangeas and other flowering shrubs and trees, including crape myrtles and a collection of Asiatic and American clethra.

From Route 27/Montauk Highway, turn left at traffic light in East Hampton. Pass town pond, go through village, and turn left at windmill. Pass under railroad bridge and turn right at fork to Springs Fireplace Road. In about 3 miles, turn left onto Woodbine and take an immediate right onto Glade Road. Please park along road, not on grass.
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Situated on a sloping half-acre, the landscape comprises four rooms. A flower garden bordered by evergreens surrounds a goldfish pond in the rear of the house. Brick walkways weave throughout. The front property is terraced into three levels, each with evergreen backdrops to create a “green” environment in winter. Twenty or so sculptures are strategically placed around the property, including large works by William King, Han van de Bovenkamp, Alfonso Ossorio, Dennis Leri, Arline Wingate, and Calvin Albert. Favored trees are flowering fruit specimens, conifers, and deciduous trees and shrubs including a variety of hydrangeas. The garden has been personally created and maintained by the curator/art dealer over a period of twenty-five years, with the aim of offering a meditative “walkaround—sit here and there” environment for all seasons.

Just making their fabulous moody display are many of her most exotic late blooming Jack in the Pulpits. Look under trees, delve among the many varieties of ferns and peek around corners —there are treasures tucked everywhere. And pay attention to the tips of the many conifers—much of the new growth should be at its explosive best. This is an ever-evolving garden that doesn’t depend on flowers for its drama. Her garden sets the stage for her well-read blog Dirtier, which is the progeny of her cult gardening book, Dirt.
Garden with red dragons guarding the area. For the more daring visitor, there is a walking path off Pop's Garden through one acre of wetland woods. This is an ongoing project and we are just beginning to develop its potential (close-toed shoes preferred for this walk). Then, on past the tented "dining room" to the arbor sitting area at the base of the artist’s studio. The studio, accessed by a spiral stair tower, will be open for visitors. Move past the formal, on-axis games lawn to the pool patio. You may end your tour with a brief rest in the fabric-shaded pergola which creates a shady haven at the west end of the patio (note the carved fox and cardinal heads on the ends of the beams).

THE GARDEN OF DIANNE B. 86 Davids Lane, East Hampton 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. This is a small garden with big ideas that echoes Dianne’s former career in fashion. The weaving of texture, color, layers, shapes and accessories comes naturally to this bulb and tuber fanatic with a specialty in Arisaema and Arums.
