| Remember the vintage 70s margarine commercial that proclaimed “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature?” Well, Mother Nature also knows better than to mess around with Audrey Gruss, who summoned up a perfect evening amidst the wettest June on record to kick off this year’s upcoming Summer Party to benefit Southampton Hospital. Audrey and husband Martin greeted guests poolside surrounded by Edwina von Gal’s jaw-dropping landscape designs -- tsunamis of hydrangea ready to exploded, century-old trees relocated “just so” and a serene pond centered on a lush lawn. |

| And what about the house, christened “Fairwood?” As imposing as the new shingle-style manse is, it’s been carefully crafted to look as though it was built a century ago- painted a soft grey with white trim and dressed with gentle striped awnings that define old Southampton style. |
