As soon as you enter into the gardens at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, you are transported to a magical place of peace and tranquility surrounded by gorgeous gardens and sculpture. Think of it as nature’s Valium.  At their recent benefit, Serious Moonlight, a chic crowd came out to support LongHouse and its many programs.  Artists, philanthropists, socialites, and just cool people turned up in fantastic fashion and also were wowed by the silent auction.

This is a true treasure in the Hamptons and deserves all your support to maintain the 16 acres which include a museum, garden and sculpture park.  Each season displays its own glory.  LongHouse is the perfect place for a romantic date, a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle to relax and d-stress, and an awesome destination to send house guests.  There are many ways to enjoy the experience:

The gardens are open Wed to Sat from 2 to 5 until Sept. 3

On Saturdays at 9am Jim Owen leads a sound meditation.

On Mondays the Twilight Tour is a chance to explore the garden at sunset with a knowledgeable guide.
