‘Planters’ Extended
“Planters On + Off the Ground,” which opened on July 20 at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, was originally set to close after Labor Day but has been extended through Sunday. The challenge of the exhibition was for artists, horticulturalists, designers, gardeners, and landscapers to create original garden container installations. The only restriction was that entries be no larger than 25 square feet.
A vote for the People’s Choice Award took place on the opening day. The winner was “Mother Morel” by Scott Bluedorn, an artist, and Zach Bliss, a designer of gardens and interiors. The runners-up were Marybeth LaPenna Lee and Ted Tyler/La Penna Lee Gardens, and ReWild Long Island x Wittendale’s Florist and Greenhouses.
