The Trust welcomed people of all ages to its annual Autumn Open House on Saturday, October 5. The day dawned sunny and bright, and drew an enthusiastic crowd to Bridge Gardens, the Trust’s public garden in Bridgehampton. There was much to do throughout the afternoon, including a garden-wide scavenger hunt, painting a pumpkin to bring home, creating a nature-inspired cyanotype print with Parrish Road Show artist Andrea Cote, seed planting with Summerhill Landscapes, a guided bird walk with Sofo, and more! The Tewa Marimba Band from Bridgehampton School entertained throughout the afternoon to enthusiastic applause, and the day closed with a song of gratitude offered by members of the Shinnecock Nation.
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and to our program partners, including Bridgehampton Museum, Children’s Museum of the East End, Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt, Hank’s Pumpkintown, Parrish Art Museum, The Shine Studio, Shinnecock Kelp Farmers, South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo), Suffolk Alliance for Pollinators, Summerhill Landscapes, and the Tewa Marimba Band.
