The Philipstown Garden Club held its annual party and silent auction on June 5 at Boscobel. The Garden Club has maintained Boscobel’s herb garden since the 1960s.

To show appreciation for their efforts and contributions to the Hudson Valley environment and specifically to the maintenance and upkeep of Boscobel’s Herb Garden — one of its most appealing attractions — Executive Director Steve Miller recently presented the PGC with a $2,000 check.

“Our partnership with the Philipstown Garden Club is deeply valued,” Miller said. “Every Tuesday when I look out my office window, I see their members diligently tending what is certainly an endearing part of Boscobel’s outdoor exhibits. Our visitors find the herb garden a special treat as there are few, if any, like it in the area. The Philipstown Garden Club is a leading contributor to what makes Boscobel so unique and inviting, so we thank them for all their hard work and dedication to our garden’s health and beauty.”
