Amber Waves Living Lands Garden
In summer 2026, Perfect Earth Project planted a Living Lands garden at Amber Waves in Amagansett, NY. The garden, full of native plants that ask little and give lots, will be maintained without chemicals, which means it will be healthy for our families, our pets, and the planet.
Visit the garden, follow it’s growth, check out the pollinators that come to visit, and sign up for a free Living Lands eco site visit if you live on the South Fork of Long Island.
The Living Lands garden at Amber Waves was planted in early July 2026. Come visit it in person to see how it matures over the seasons and check out what wildlife is enjoying it.
Thank you to Whitmores for their generous support.
