Although we are Bellport.com, we really cover the area from Brookhaven Hamlet, to East Patchogue, to Yaphank, usually known as the "South Country" area. This is a wonderful area of Long Island and the country to either visit or live. Our job, at Bellport.com, is to let you know what's going on. |
|
Take your time and "poke" around our site. The more you look, the more you'll find
on our "paperless newspaper." And, if you sign up for our
email list, every week we'll let you know what's happening that week and what's coming up in the near future. |

The beauty of gardens is that they mature. But how do you meet the challenge of bringing yesterday’s landscape or garden into the next generation? Tovah Martin, horticulturist, author and lecturer explores issues and provides answers about garden stewardship in “Trowels & Tomorrow” at 11:00am on Saturday, June 22nd, at the Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society, 12 Bell Street, Bellport. Whether you have inherited a landscape or created a garden over decades and now face mature trees and shrubs that require preemptive pruning or relocation, solutions will be explored. Taking us through woodland gardens and grand estates, or exploring gardens great and small, she will tackle such difficult problems as rehabilitating overgrown boxwood hedges and coping with plants that were once considered exotics but have now been unmasked as invasives. And she will also talk about plant preservation and heirloom varieties, honoring the people who have worked to preserve vintage ornamentals so those plants with a past can become the superstars of future gardens.

At the turn of the 20th century popular music was everywhere. It was on the stage, in musical shows and operettas by George M. Cohan and Victor Herbert. It was on village bandstands, with local bands inspired by the success of John Philip Sousa. It was in the parlor – parlor piano sales hit an all-time high in 1909 – where families gathered to sing “Home Sweet Home” and “Oh Promise Me.” And at every seaside resort, including Bellport, “By the Beautiful Sea” provided an accompaniment to summer fun. In “And the Band Played On,” Alan Levenstein, Columbia University instructor and founder of The American Musical Project at the New-York Historical Society, will use historic and modern recordings, archival sheet music and an anecdotal history of the splendid years of 1895-1914 to provide a sense of the beautiful, musical life of those golden years when the last century was young and everyone thought the dance would go on forever at 4:00pm on Sunday, June 23rd, at the Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society, 12 Bell Street, Bellport.
