Renowned textile designer, artist and gardener Jack Lenor Larsen, the founder of LongHouse Reserve in the Northwest Harbor section of East Hampton, died in December last year at age 93, leaving LongHouse, itself, and the 16-acre sculpture garden surrounding it to the LongHouse Reserve Foundation, which now carries on his legacy.

More than 60 temporary sculptures stand at LongHouse Reserve, both permanent installations — including works by Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono and Willem de Kooning — and transient sculptures. New to the gardens this year are sculptures by Daniel Arsham, John Giorno, Prune Nourry and Beverly Pepper. Set among the flowers, shrubs and trees of LongHouse Reserve, the artworks are complemented and enhanced by the natural world.

LongHouse Reserve is open to the public with reservations this month on Saturdays, May 8 and May 15; Sunday, May 9, and Wednesday, May 12. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors, or free for members, children, students veterans and active-duty military. On Saturday, May 8, LongHouse hosts its seventh annual Family Day, with sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., free for families with children and including art activities for kids, garden tours and more.

Fall Drought Leads to Record Breaking Water Demand in Suffolk County

A fall drought has driven Suffolk County water demand to record-breaking levels, typically seen only during peak summer months, the Suffolk County Water Authority announced last week, reporting that it pumped approximately 7 billion gallons of water in October, about 1.5 billion gallons more than usual for the month, following one of the driest months of September and October on record. While SCWA’s system is currently meeting demand, the prolonged high-water usage is complicating routine seasonal shutdowns of certain wells, the utility states, adding that these wells are typically taken offline in colder months to prevent freeze-related damage, as they ... by Staff Writer
