Oehme, van Sweden & Associates
Wolfgang Oehme
James van Sweden
Situated on the shores of eastern Long Island’s Mecox Bay, this sequence of outdoor rooms in a 0.9-acre garden features plant materials that thrive in the site’s difficult growing conditions. According to owner Carole Rosenberg, “Our Water Mill house was set in a magnificent garden where design blends with the natural elements of water, sky, and reed. Sweeping masses of ornamental grasses, perennials, flowering bulbs, and rare clump bamboo create a different palette in each season.”[1] A matched pair of images illustrates part of the garden in winter and summer.
Our long-term friendship with Jim and Wolfgang has been important in our lives.[2]
