Mar Jennings: new lifestyle guru. Contributed photoBy day, Mar Jennings is a Westport banker. But in his off hours, he’s the town’s newest lifestyle guru.
With Martha Stewart spending enforced time in Bedford, N.Y., and rumors that her Turkey Hill Road South home is quietly on the market, the Westport lifestyle guru field is wide open for Jennings, 40, who recently introduced a cable TV show.
Seen Saturday mornings at 11 a.m. on Cablevision channel 84, the effort is called “Mar Jennings Home & Garden.” It was taped at his Westport home, not far from the town’s center.
In June, Jennings hosted a successful series of fundraisers for the Westport Historical Society, “The Passionate Gardener,” which showcased his gardens and guests shared private sessions with him and his passion.
Jennings, who joined the “Good Morning Connecticut” team at New Haven’s WTNH, Channel 8 in June, frequently opens his home to support the work of many other local charities as well. He also has is own Web site where his offers lifestyle tips.
