The Gardens of the Hamptons: Grand Estates, Village Jewels, and Public Sanctuaries

The Gardens of the Hamptons offers a luxurious collection of vibrant, full-color photography amid personal profiles of individuals who have shared the story behind their private garden with lifestyle writer and photographer Blue Carreon.

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, or, simply, a place for contemplation of Nature. 

In his new book, Blue Carreon showcases over forty wonderful examples of lush gardens, ranging from bespoke private oases to public offerings as well as larger garden estates, from West Hampton to Montauk. 

Each garden owner speaks of their motivation behind the vision and design of the garden of their dreams—whether it be the location for an intimate escape or a family-friendly space to stimulate laughter and make wholesome 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 like sculptures and metal structures.

A valuable resource for those seeking inspiration on garden design and planting—and the ideal gift for garden-lovers—this book emphasizes the enduring appeal of the Hamptons by featuring many styles of garden: art gardens, contemporary gardens, natural gardens, historic gardens, designer gardens, and many more.
