Southampton, New York Jun 11, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Join us July 19 & 20, 2024 at ART & SOUL: Hamptons for a weekend filled with art and cultural experiences, celebrating influential and emerging BIPOC artists living in the Hamptons community and beyond.

Curated experiences include an art walk, culinary experience, film screening, live music and entertainment, a cocktail party, and more.

ART & SOUL: Hamptons will kick off on July 19th at the Southampton Arts Center — a hub that is helping to strengthen arts and culture for the entire community. Featured artists include Art Sims and Reynoir Lewis. A culinary tasting will be presented by the Black Culinary Expo featuring Chef Sandy Pierre, Chef Osei Blackett, and Chef Ronica Copes. New England Sweetwater will host a sipping experience and educate guests about their spirits and cocktails, handcrafted in New Hampshire at their family-owned distillery. To enhance the Hamptons experience, there will be champagne toasts, live music, beauty and lifestyle activations, and a wellness lounge. The evening will end with ‘Art After Dark’, after party hosted in the sculpture garden.

On July 20th, Jeremy Dennis will host a private guided museum tour of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio where guests will learn about the history, culture, and contributions by the Native American Shinnecock Tribe. Following the art tour, visitors are encouraged to participate in the ‘Art Walk’ happening in Southampton – the art hub of the Hamptons, where they can view artwork by the artists in residency.

The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.

The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.

The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024. Guests will enjoy an interactive digital experience, live music and entertainment, soul food and Caribbean bites, and Caribbean-inspired cocktails sponsored by New England Sweetwater. A screening of ‘CROWN’, a short film that celebrates Black hair, will be presented by co-writer/co-director Karisma Jay.

Frank’s frustration sparked a profound question: How can everyone enjoy the thrill of playing music without the traditional hurdles? This engineer-minded curiosity led to the birth of AeroBand. Today, the company’s mission is to democratize music creation, bridging the gap between a user’s musical dreams and their current abilities through smart, accessible, and empowering tools.

Landguard Garden Beds Highlight Features and Growing Methods for the Spring Gardening Season

Published

on

United States, 10th Mar 2026, – As the spring planting season approaches, gardeners and horticulture enthusiasts are increasingly exploring raised planting systems as an alternative to traditional in-ground cultivation. Among the options available in the gardening equipment market, Landguard garden beds are designed to support structured planting environments that emphasize soil management, durability, and adaptable garden layouts.

Raised garden beds have become a widely adopted approach for both residential and small-scale agricultural gardening. The design allows gardeners to manage soil composition, drainage, and planting density more precisely than in traditional ground plots. Manufacturers such as Landguard have introduced metal-based raised bed systems intended to provide long-term structural stability and consistent growing conditions.

Landguard Garden Beds Highlight Features and Growing Methods for the Spring Gardening Season

Construction and Structural Design

Landguard garden beds are produced using galvanized steel materials intended to resist corrosion and environmental wear over extended outdoor use. Metal garden bed structures are commonly selected in gardening systems where durability and weather resistance are important considerations.

The raised bed systems are designed with modular components that allow users to configure garden layouts depending on available space. Product variations include the elegant 10-Pack 24″ Tall Oval models, which are often used for decorative planting or smaller garden arrangements, and the massive 10-Pack 36″ Tall Rectangular (8x4x3ft) sets, which provide deeper soil capacity suitable for larger planting environments.

Many raised garden beds incorporate safety elements such as rolled edges and protective trim to reduce sharp surfaces during assembly and maintenance.

Raised Bed Gardening Methods

Raised garden beds are widely used in horticulture because they allow gardeners to control soil structure and drainage more precisely. Gardeners typically create layered soil systems consisting of compost, organic material, and topsoil to support root development and nutrient availability.

The elevated design can also influence pest management and weed control. Because planting surfaces are raised above ground level, some gardeners report reduced intrusion from ground-level weeds and certain small animals. Additionally, the height of raised beds may provide ergonomic benefits by reducing the need for bending during planting and harvesting activities.

Raised metal garden beds are also used in urban and suburban settings where soil conditions may be compacted or unsuitable for traditional planting. By introducing prepared soil within a contained structure, gardeners can establish controlled growing environments even in limited outdoor spaces.

Growing Environments and Garden Layouts

Metal garden bed systems such as those produced by Landguard are frequently used in residential landscapes, community gardens, and small farms. Gardeners often use raised beds to cultivate vegetables, herbs, and ornamental plants while maintaining defined planting areas within lawns or landscaped environments.

Corrugated metal garden beds have become visually recognizable features in contemporary garden design, often arranged in organized rows or geometric layouts. These installations may support a range of crops, including leafy greens, flowering plants, and seasonal vegetables.

Spring Gardening Preparation

Spring is commonly regarded as a key planting season across many regions of the United States, as warming soil temperatures allow gardeners to begin cultivating vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Raised bed systems are frequently prepared during this period by refreshing soil layers, adding compost, and organizing planting plans for the growing season.

Gardeners using raised metal beds typically evaluate soil depth, irrigation access, and plant spacing to ensure suitable conditions for spring crops.
