Garden of Carl Bengtsson and Kathy Sutherland
Designed and installed by Harmonia Inc
Abundance of Nature Warms Sanctuary on Georgica Road
This newly built contemporary construction required a landscape design and installation to make it feel like home. The extensive New York stone entrance of earth tone hues, which is lined by river birch, early blooming Helleborus, and Annabelle hydrangea, greet you as you ascend to the entrance of the home. A beautiful allée of white blooming crepe myrtles is the entrée of the extended views of the vast reserve in the distance. The circular patio, complimented by casual seating and a fire pit, is a perfect spot to enjoy the fireflies in the reserve. One of the property’s added features is a custom-built life-size treehouse.

Drawing on a distinctive and historically significant part of Long Island’s agricultural history, this home links a Peconic Land Trust area with an agricultural reserve and draws its inspiration from a 1938 potato barn originally on the site. The landscape creates comfortable, easy outdoor living for alfresco dining and cooking, lounging by the pool, and a workout space. Naturalized meadows and native plantings throughout the site help the home feel timeless. Green roofs on the home are aesthetically appealing while offering temperature regulation and encouraging biodiversity. A stepped garden between the house and pool invites glimpses of butterflies and birds along the path.
Behind the Brick Wall on Main Street
Peek behind the ivy-covered brick wall of this beautiful Main Street property, and you will find an immense 90-year-old crimson weeping Japanese maple, a perennial garden bordering the croquet court which is surrounded by 36 giant boxwoods, and a bubbling pond with lilies and water hyacinths. A putting green adds playfulness to this pristine garden, which includes recent additions of a hidden fort and theater to the delight of the owner’s grandchildren.
The first flower show of the Garden Club of East Hampton was held here in 1916, then the home of May Groot Manson, a leading suffragette for whom there is a historic marker in front of this house on Main Street. The garden was originally designed by Galen Williams but today is cared for by Elizabeth Gardens.
The Woodhouse Playhouse
Garden tour-goers will be invited to view The Playhouse interior as well as tour the gardens.
Designed by Guild Hall founder Mrs. Lorenzo Woodhouse in 1916, expressly to showcase performance art, The Playhouse was praised by noted architect Robert A.M. Stern, as “the most perfectly preserved” of the Woodhouse family properties. Mrs. Woodhouse’s public gifts to the community include Guild Hall and the East Hampton Public Library. From 1917-1933, The Playhouse served as a lively performing arts hall whose varied presentations included stage classics by first-tier actors; concerts by string quartets and The Westminster Choir; and dance, including works by Isadora Duncan, and by Ruth St. Denis – whose gauze-clad Denishawn dancers transformed the Playhouse gardens into an ethereal outdoor stage in 1932. Years later, when Elizabeth & David Brockman became its owners, they brought to The Playhouse their intense love of classical music and performance. The family has maintained The Playhouse as both a residence and arts venue since 1958.
The grounds of this nearly three-acre property feature a gunite pool, a serene fountain, and a variety of mature specimen trees such as beech, sycamore, and elm, kept since Mrs. Woodhouse’s days and still providing a private oasis of natural beauty today. The property’s southern border is flanked by acres of reserve land, nature trails, and a wildlife sanctuary, ensuring tranquility and seclusion.
Landscape Details’ Office Gardens
Visit the exquisite gardens at Landscape Details. The landscape was carefully designed with an eye for detail and aesthetics, featuring intricate stonework that complements the building’s architecture, a serene meditation pool that provides a tranquil retreat, and a variety of beautiful plantings that add color and texture throughout the property. Each element of the landscape was chosen to enhance the overall ambiance, creating a harmonious blend of nature and structure.

ABOUT HAMPTONS PRIDE
Hamptons Pride, Inc. is a not-for-profit public charity (tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code – EIN 86-3600121) that celebrates and commemorates the LGBTQ+ people and their allies on the East End of Long Island. Established by locals for the benefit of locals, the organization’s founding goal is the creation of an historical marker and outdoor social area on the footprint of The Swamp (the last and longest-running gay club in the Hamptons) in what is now Wainscott Green, a park in the Town of East Hampton. Hamptons Pride’s services, including the annual Hamptons Pride Parade on the first Saturday in June, are made possible by the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations. https://hamptonspride.org/

Creative Lab is a series of interdisciplinary workshops designed and led by Guild Hall’s Visiting, Exhibiting, and Resident artists. Each Creative Lab invites participants to learn about an artist’s practice through an open lecture and a participatory workshop.
This Lab will be led by artist & lawyer Raúl Martinez. Martinez’s work examines the intersections between art and language and, more specifically, the possibilities of using legal language (i.e., employment contracts, traffic rules and regulations, military training codes, etc.) as material for art, dance, and performance.
The Lab will focus on Martinez’s work as part of the collective DETEXT and his current work in the Guild Hall exhibition, Spin A Yarn.
Join Guild Hall for a weekly Stitch ‘N Bitch!

Guild Hall’s Boots Lamb Education Center

The name Stitch ‘N Bitch has been used by many social knitting communities as far back as World War II.

As time went on, it grew in popularity, with a major resurgence in the early 2000’s due to Debbie Stoller & BUST Magazine, and has been bringing crafters together for decades.
This weekly program is open to all who knit, crochet, embroider, sew and more. Sessions are collectively led by those in attendance.
All participants are encouraged to bring their own materials.
Stitch ‘N Bitch is programmed in-tandem with the Guild Hall exhibition, Spin A Yarn.
