Peconic Bay Medical Center’s Caregivers Center recently held its 8th annual Caregivers Retreat to help provide advocacy and valuable resources for Suffolk County residents who are supporting their loved ones. As part of the event, guests had the opportunity to hear from a panel of caregiving experts, connect with attorneys and financial advisors, participate in relaxation and meditation workshops, and connect with other caregivers. The event took place at the Hotel Indigo East End, and it was the first time since 2019 that the event was held in person.

The Westhampton Garden Club is partnering with the Westhampton Historical Society to create a colonial garden next to the Foster-Meeker Heritage Center on Mill Road. The Historical Society has been working on the reconstruction of the house, which was built in 1735, for several years with the goal of creating an historically accurate living example. The last phase of the project is to create a garden typical of the era. As part of their research for the Foster-Meeker garden, garden club members recently visited the colonial garden at Mulford Farm (circa 1680) in East Hampton. Guide Leslie Clark from the Garden Club of East Hampton, which created and maintains the garden, gave a tour with the history of its design planning, plant selection and execution.
