Departs from the Scott Arboretum offices
Jeff Jabco and Julie Jenney will be your guides to experience public and private gardens from the Oyster Bay area to the east end of the North and South Forks, showcasing grand estates, charming smaller but exquisitely designed landscapes, and exotic retreats filled with tropical plants and towering grasses. Paired with beautiful sights will be delicious meals and time for shopping in Southampton and Marder’s Nursery (which sells more than just plants!).
Our final afternoon will be spent touring Shinn Estate Vineyards (soon to be the first organic winery on the East Coast) and sampling their grapes which will be ripe on the vines. We will then gather in their cozy yet chic renovated farmhouse for a farm-to-table dinner of local produce and meats paired with their excellent wines. For pricing and more information please review the itinerary or contact Julie Jenney at 610 328 8025.
