Planters ON+OFF the Ground XII (July 20-Aug 31)

Visit the twelfth edition of our popular exhibition Planters ON+OFF the Ground on view through Labor Day weekend in the Squash Court at LongHouse. Planters ON+OFF brings together artists, horticulturalists, designers, gardeners, and landscapers who let loose their imaginations and create ingeniously original garden container installations that go beyond the clay pot. This year, the exhibit also features several student collaborations, bringing fresh ideas to an always inventive mix of planters. The only restriction: each creation must be contained to 25 square feet.

A vote for the People's Choice Award took place during the July 20 opening and was announced by our guest host Dr. Georgette Grier-Key, Executive Director and Curator of the Eastville Community Historical Society. 

The winner was Mother Morel by Scott Bluedorn and Zach Bliss.

The runners up were Marybeth LaPenna Lee & Ted Tyler / LaPenna Lee Gardens and ReWild Long Island x Wittendale's Florist & Greenhouses.
