Those organizations include the Parrish Art Museum, the South Fork Natural History Museum, the Amagansett Village and East Hampton Village improvement societies, Share the Harvest Farm (which donates its organic produce to local groups), and the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, founded by her grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>But Whitmore\u2019s current focus is LongHouse Reserve. Her grandfather knew LongHouse founder Jack Lenor Larsen for many years and naturally played a role in the garden. Before the firm had its own tree farm, it sourced specimens from all over the country. \u201cWe had brought in California redwoods, and Jack wanted a couple,\u201d Whitmore says. \u201cWe donated them, and they\u2019re still on the property at LongHouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She got involved with LongHouse after a chance meeting on the Hampton Jitney with two board members, who invited her on a tour. \u201cThe gardens are really energizing to me,\u201d Whitmore says. \u201cJack\u2019s collection of art and plants is second to none.\u201d She now cochairs LongHouse\u2019s Junior Council and says July 22\u2019s benefit gala, titled Boom!, will feature some \u201cexplosive\u201d art by Cai Guo-Qiang, one of the evening\u2019s honorees: Cai\u2019s media include fireworks, and he creates paintings on which gunpowder is ignited to produce images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCENE EVERYBODY\u2019S TALKING ABOUT \u00a0IT\u2026 GIVING OUT LOUD By R.
