In their summer residence in East Hampton, she learnt to lay brick walks and cut her teeth on a vast perennial garden. The Closes acquired a 1960s clapboard house with a pond on these two acres in Bridgehampton in 1980, where they can still see a white horse growing grass in its pasture and hear cows mooing at milking time, despite all the new mansions.
At Wave Hill, Leslie started a curriculum in American landscape history. She helped found the Catalog of Landscape Records, which is now kept at the New York Botanical Garden. Leslie describes gardening as a “deep, meditative endeavor,” and she believes she is “part of a long continuity” of gardeners, ranging from Thomas Jefferson to the local farmers who sell her sorrel and tomato plants.
