LongHouse
Jack Lenor Larsen

The mission of LongHouse Reserve is to exemplify living with art in all forms. Through its gallery, arboretum, sculpture gardens, and programs, LongHouse brings together art and nature, aesthetics and spirit, with a strong conviction that the arts are central to living wholly and creatively. Dedicated to quality and integrity, LongHouse programs encourage a broad concept of learning.

LongHouse gardens become an expansive case study of a considered lifestyle at the turn of the millenium. The objective is to simultaneously create landscapes as an art form and to demonstrate planting potentials in this climate -- with broad selections of species and cultivars.

Inspired by the famous Japanese shrine at Ise, LongHouse contains 13,000 square feet, 18 spaces on four levels. The gardens present the designed landscape as an art form in its own right.

The grounds offer a diversity of sites for the preservation of multifarious species where they can flourish for generations to come.
