Peconic Land Trust - Shelter Island Garden Party

Shelter Island Garden Party – July 19, 2008

A new event for the Peconic Land Trust in 2006, the Shelter Island Garden Party is a wonderful opportunity to explore the island between the forks. Organized by the Peconic Land Trust’s Shelter Island Advisory Committee, chaired by Edie Landeck, MD, the event is a perfect summer evening affair.

The 2008 "Cocktails in the Garden" Party was Saturday, July 19 at Oriole Farm in Dering Harbor. The event, once again, featured a "Island Celebrity" Birdhouse auction -- with a special "preview" of the birdhouses at the Shelter Island Library from July 2-17.

2008 Birdhouse Artists include: Kirsten Lewis, Kia Pederson, Kenny DiPaola, Jim Dougherty, Jimmy Buffett, Bill Geist, Susan Cronin, Amanda Clark, Bennett Konesni, Rebecca Mundy, Commander Cody, and Christian McLean. (See below for images of all the 2008 Birdhouses for auction). A special calendar with photographs of all the birdhouses will be available for purchase in the Fall.
