Sixty-Something: It’s Time To Smell The Flowers In The Hamptons

T.J. Clementeby T.J. Clemente

It’s Time to Smell the Flowers in the Hamptons.

 

They are everywhere dancing in the summer breezes and soaking up the sunlight. When God created flowers he did so to bloom in high feather in mid summer. On the east end in the summer flowers add to an already beautiful place. Many believe the Hamptons actually are beautiful all year round I understand that too.

 

What is so interesting is that the gardens on the east end are usually a signature of the home owners. Some folks love roses, some love shrubs such as the very popular choice of Hydrangeas. My wife loves Black Eyed Susan’s and Daisies ! Choosing flowers for the home is a very personal thing.

 

I believe when you arrive at a home with a meticulous garden it says something immediately about the occupants of a home. Over the years I have always noticed the difference between a rental home and year round occupants but just looking at the shrubs and garden. You can see the love.

 

Years ago I was on assignment to cover some homes participating in a “Garden Tour,” sponsored by the Jewish Center of the Hamptons. I went to some phenomenal south of the highway homes and was given personal tours of some very original gardens. One of those homes had a fine women who claimed she spent well over a million dollars (2007 money) bringing in the numerous types of various trees that gracefully defined her gardens and property. She had a story about each tree as if it was a longtime member of the family. She then explained the importance of selecting the flowers.

 

She said, “I can’t paint or do sculpture, but as a little girl growing up in Denver, I realized I had a connection with flowers and trees. I have been blessed with a husband who understands this connection I have, and enthusiastically supports it! The garden keeps me feeling young and alive.”

 

Of course she requested I not use her name and I understood her need to not have every type of horticultural salespersons harassing her. However while covering an opening night show at Bay Street Theater, some 15 years later, I saw her upfront in a wheelchair and I went over and introduced myself and my wife. She said she remembered the article and then said, “You must come and see how all the trees have grown older with me except they have grown taller, fuller and oh so much more beautiful!” She was glowing, I actually teared up.

 

I love watching my wife put her signature on our garden. It’s all part of expressing a love of home and the beauty of life itself.

  • Nearly two years after its debut, El Verano offers a taste of upscale Mexican cuisine in a setting inspired by the charm of vacation summer homes in Mexico. Customers enter a vibrant space filled with beautiful greenery and colorful decor as they enjoy dishes rooted in the heritage of acclaimed chef Julian Medina.⁠
⁠
Medina grew up in Mexico City, where his love for cooking first began. In pursuit of his career, he moved to New York City, where he graduated from the French Culinary Institute. Noticing a lack of refined Mexican dining in Southampton, Medina created El Verano to bring the bold flavors of his roots to the area. Blending Mexican coastal charm with rich culinary traditions, El Verano brings something new to the Southampton dining scene.⁠
⁠
Medina shared some of his signature dishes, journey through the cooking field, and highlighted El Verano’s fresh and locally sourced ingredients that shape each creation.⁠

  • My curiosity piqued when I saw the new, shovel-ready plans at 28 Pepperidge Lane in Amagansett. Included with this nearly two-acre property, are sophisticated and luxurious plans by the firm Resolution: 4 Architecture (RES4). New construction in the Hamptons isn’t easy—but what if your dream home could be architect-designed and delivered directly to you? What is the latest in prefab architecture in 2025?⁠
⁠
To explore this intriguing approach further, Scott connected me directly with Robert Luntz, the co-founder of RES4. See our conversation on redefining luxury through modern modular design, its growing relevance in the Hamptons, and the future of high-end prefabrication.⁠
⁠
For more information about the plans in place at 28 Pepperidge Lane, Amagansett, contact Scott Bradley.⁠
⁠
RES4 has been a pioneer in modern prefab architecture. What inspired you to focus on this method of construction?⁠
⁠
We’ve spent over two decades innovating ways to deliver exceptional, modern homes efficiently and affordably. Our modular methodology uniquely allows us to combine luxury, precision, and accessibility, transforming the landscape of high-end housing by delivering refined design to a broader market.⁠
