The Bayberry



Some beautiful scenes from the work of The Bayberry Nursery & Arboretum in Amagansett to take you to the weekend. I'm going to enjoy these last, wistful days of Summer as much as I can, outside in the garden. Even though it's still warm, the trees are slowly beginning to exchange their lush green verdant coats for a lighter version, tinged with soft reds & pale golds. Autumn is letting us know she's on her way & with it comes the cooler Hills nights that send us scurrying inside for a warmer sweater. May you enjoy a wonderfully restorative weekend.

  2. Oh my! Is your son responsible for some of these? I have resisted and resisted- but with no snow in weeks-I really do have a touch of spring fever now... but it's still early! Have a glorious weekend Millie and MOTH.

  3. I could eat, sleep, work, play, live and die here. Thank you for sharing it with us. I have never seen the sunken bench concept around the tree. Dreaming of spending a fall down under sipping wine and eating wonderful things. Have a great weekend. Peace, Heidi

  4. Absolutely beautiful gardens...something to aspire to.
    There's no chance of me going out into the garden for at least 6 weeks, but I can gaze at wonderful photographs like this and dream of warm Spring days, Mill's.
    Have a lovely weekend. XXXX

  12. So refreshing to see so much green space. Beautiful photos! It is so gray and rainy in New England these days. I'm longing for spring! Thanks for tiding me over for a few more months.

  14. Love the photos Millie, but agree with Renee, we want to see you in the flowing white gown and even a young admiror or two feeding you grapes.

  15. Fantstic pictures, I'd love to be close enough to go by and visit this afternoon. Two new things on my must-have list: the sunken garden bench -stunning - and of course the elephant. I don't know why I don't already have one!

  16. Breathtakingly gorgeous!!! Love your hydrangeas. I have one puny little bush that refuses to give me any blooms. Fabulous rock walls. We have some very old limestone walls on the manor property.

  24. Millie,
    Before I turn in I just wanted to visit you since it's been a while. These garden posts of your are charming, gorgeous, and GREEN. I am so ready for GREEN I'm afraid I'm in my march mood...not good. I also love the way you have photographed the lane to the hedge in all your wonderful seasons. I've not been good at peeking over the hedge lately but think of you often and hope you and MOTH an the boys are doing well.
    xo Lisa
