The path to paradise does exist — and it can be found at the Landcraft Display Garden in Mattituck!

Though it’s used as a display garden for adjacent Landcraft Environments whole sale nursery, it really is pleasure garden for owners Dennis Shrader and Bill Smith. You literally feel like you are in Bali! They sell wholesale throughout the entire Northeast and experiment in their own garden. They even have a bananas tree growing there.

The nearly two-acre garden surrounds their restored 1840s farmhouse, and let me tell you, it is a wonderland on the North Fork.
