Colorful, Lush Leiber Gardens: Open to the Public

COLORFUL, LUSH LEIBER GARDENS:

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

East Hampton, NY --- Legendary handbag designer Judith Leiber and her husband modernist painter Gerson Leiber have invited the public to stroll through and admire their seven acres of individually designed gardens when visiting the Leiber Collection.

Among the gardens, each of which was designed in a different style by Gerson Leiber, is one devoted to sculpture by celebrated modern sculptors; another is a garden of geometric hedges; and a third makes one feel as if one has entered a tropical rain forest. Each of the gardens maintains its own set of distinctive qualities, from meticulously sculpted hedges and intricate trelliswork to a thriving potager and a painter’s palette of colorful flowers. An eagle’s eye view of the property would present an image of a maze of interconnected brick paths leading through a distinguished variety of flowering plants and shrubs encompassing a variety of charming gardening styles.

The sculpture garden is adjacent to the Leiber Collection’s Palladian edifice that currently has an exhibition entitled Magnificent Obsession of Judith Leiber handbags and Gerson Leiber paintings of the world of fashion.

For lovers of flora in a handsomely designed sylvan setting, the Leiber Gardens present a pleasant opportunity to enjoy one artist’s designs of natural beauty.

The Leiber Collection and Gardens are free and open to the public every Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday from 1 PM to 4 PM. The address is 446 Old Stone Highway in Springs, East Hampton. For additional information phone (631) 329-3288 or email info@leibercollection.org
