The Gardens of the Hamptons

In The Gardens of the Hamptons, lifestyle writer and photographer Blue Carreon showcases a luxurious collection of gardens with vibrant photography and stories of the garden owners.

The Hamptons are well known for being the place to be in summer for sunshine, luxury, and fun. Their exquisite gardens are the backdrop for social gatherings, family activities, and places to contemplate nature. In his new book, Blue Carreon showcases over fifty wonderful examples of lush gardens from West Hampton to Montauk. This includes the famous Grey Gardens, restored and revitalized by its new owner, fashion designer Liz Lange; and the sprawling private, art-filled garden of Barnes & Noble founder Leonard Riggio and his wife, Louise.

Each garden owner recounts the motivation behind the vision and design of their dream garden, whether it be an intimate escape or a family-friendly space to make memories. Blue effortlessly conveys each gardener’s sense of pride and the reasons behind the choices of landscape design and architecture, as well as color scheme, flora selection, and incorporation of art.
