Saving the earth is trendy and fun, proves East Hampton boutique Blue & Cream. The eco-friendly garden and landscape company iGreen has designed a garden adjacent to the shop for the customers to sit and relax in after a long, hard day of purchasing. The installment of this leafy quarter celebrates the recent renewal of the store’s lease, proving not everyone in business is shutting down due to the R-word.
Jeffrey Goldstein, the store’s owner, said, “Blue & Cream tends to be a place where people come and hang around for a while. Our new garden is now just another spot where our customers can hang out and be apart of our Blue & Cream culture."
iGreen has even created part of it into a rain garden that takes rain runoff and allows it to soak into the gravel groundcover. This method cuts way back on pollution in streams and creeks. On the topic of H2O, there is a lovely stone fountain that recycles the water beneath the ground. The calming effect of the fountain is worth a sit-down alone. Inviting benches have been constructed out of driftwood from the beach, establishing a tranquility in the middle of the always-buzzworthy Hamptons.
