    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA LANDSCAPE ARBORETUM TRAVEL GOLD COAST GARDENS & MANSIONS September 19 – 25, 2018 Distinguished Host: Peter Olin, Arboretum Director Emeritus Wednesday, September 19, 2018 Welcome to Long Island! Upon afternoon arrival in New York, we will meet our local guide and proceed to our hotel for check-in. Tonight, we will celebrate the spirit of Long Island and of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum by joining together for a Welcome Reception. Thursday, September 20, 2018 This morning we will begin our journey with a visit to the Longhouse Reserve to enjoy the natural beauty of spectacular garden displays blended with outdoor sculpture. Located in beautiful East Hampton, this sixteen-acre garden features established lawns, ornamental borders, plant collections and a collection of over 90 sculptures by well-known artists including Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono, and Willem de Kooning, planned by the internationally-recognized textile designer, Jack Lenor Larsen. After lunch, we’ll visit Madoo Conservancy, a magical oasis set on an enchanting 2-acre landscape in the heart of Sagaponack. Over the last forty years, artist and writer Robert Dash established a green, organic encyclopedia of gardening featuring Tudor, High Renaissance, early Greek, as well as Oriental garden influences. The myriad greens that abound in the garden, some alongside daring colors on railings, gates, windows and doors, together with innovative pruning techniques, all display an artistic genius at work. However, within this very original vision, an indigenous pattern surfaces. The continual introduction of native plants, the placement of a wheel- away bench (a rarely seen native design), a millstone, still in its barn, and migrant shack on the property, pay homage to generations past.

The goal of the report was to assess the increasingly apparent neglect of important historic properties (most of which were acquired by the county in the 1960s and 70s), and to advo- cate the need for immediate attention to what had become a serious problem: Nassau County’s diminishing concern for its heritage and the imminent loss of important historic structures and landscape. The report assessed fourteen sites, the majority of which are incor- porated into open space settings such as preserves and parks.
