Dianne B. and Hamptons style

Dianne Benson took her design flair from her Dianne B. clothing stores in Manhattan and transplanted it to her first garden in the Hamptons 20 years ago.

The novice gardener’s dramatic and highly personal planting style was quickly noted in the beach towns of Long  Island, and reached an international audience with the publication of her cult classic book, DIRT: The Lowdown on Growing a Garden with Style. Packed with unusual plant suggestions and practical guidance for the gardener, DIRT is an essential. You’ll soon be able to buy an autographed copy of DIRT here at H. Potter.

The Best @ Dianne B.

Dianne B. also has a new online store, The Best @ Dianne B. She combines her passions for top quality and great value in her selection of the Ten Garden Essentials in tools and accessories for all gardeners.

Take a minute to see her custom-made Tool Belt, the engravable stainless-steel shovel, her favorite plant markers, and—well, if you’re like me, you’ll want all Ten Garden Essentials.

Every month Dianne B. will bring her distinctive garden design concepts and plant combinations to the H. Potter Knowledge blog. Her first post is coming up!
