FROM

THE

CEO

elcome to the July 4th issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. Independence Day is a patriotic holiday for celebrating the freedom and liberties we all share

as Americans. The North Fork, with its many historical connections to the Revolutionary War, is a particularly appropriate place to celebrate this important holiday of independence for all of us. Something to think about as we attend July 4th parades and fireworks displays over the holiday weekend. Showcased on this month’s front cover, Sheri Winter Parker of The Corcoran Group presents a peaceful and private paradise on 4.7 acres and over 1,000 feet of prime waterfront in Cutchogue. Featuring a waterfront cottage with two bedrooms and an open loft floor plan. Also includes a studio/office with outstanding views. Surrounded by North Fork wineries, farm stands and restaurants, such privacy is hard to come by on the water. Also in this issue, be sure to check out Rachel Bosworth’s “Outdoor Entertaining,” for some great suggestions on how to throw the perfect North Fork summer gathering; Hannah Selinger’s “A Slice of Life,” on where to buy your holiday pie on the North Fork for this year’s July 4 festivities; Alice Phillips’ “Oysterponds,” featuring a look at the history of Orient and East Marion, both of which date back to 1640 as English settlements; “Best Deals,” showcasing some of the best North Fork real estate values currently on the market; Anne Halpin’s “The Charm of a Cottage Garden,” for choosing the right plants to create an East End cottage garden of your very own this summer; “Sound Bytes,” for the latest on what’s happening on the North Fork…along with a dollop of real estate gossip; plus much more. Don’t forget to check out our newly redesigned and upgraded website at NorthForkRealEstateShowcase.com featuring exceptional North Fork properties for sale, home design and lifestyle stories, property videos and much more.

THE CHARM OF A COTTAGE GARDEN FRAGRANT FLOWERS WELCOMED BY ANNE HALPIN

place for plants you receive as gifts for a birthday, holiday or other occasion. Plants that self-sow, such as forget-me-nots and Johnny jump-ups, are fun to include, too – let them come up where they will and introduce a delightful bit of serendipity to your garden. Whichever plants you select for your cottage garden, choose them based on their individual qualities rather than the contribution they make to the total design. Try to assemble a pleasing assortment of colors, but don’t be a slave to a color scheme. Also be sure to include some tall and big plants, too, so you don’t end up with a collection of little things. When planting, it’s still best to have more than one of each kind of plant – small clumps of three or five will keep the garden from looking entirely random. Antique and heritage roses such as damasks and cabbage roses also have a place in a cottage garden. A more adaptable alternative are the David Austin roses (sold in many garden centers and nurseries on the East End). These roses Photo: Jake Rajs
