Reviews

"""The South Fork is home to spectacular gardens, each stunning in its own way. Blue Carreon set out to capture that diversity in his forthcoming book “The Gardens of the Hamptons.”"" ""The East Hampton and Manhattan resident both photographed and wrote the book, which includes 45 subjects, ranging from small village gardens to grand estates. Carreon didn’t want a book of “cookie-cutter” gardens that are “just hedges and hydrangeas.” Rather, he selected gardens in the hope that people who pick up the book will find inspiration in the variety.""" - Sag Harbor Express/27East
