Gardening: Hudson Bush Plant Sale and Garden Exchange
At Clermont, a lawn studded with 200-year old locust trees.
In 1990 Dr. Norman Posner and Charles Baker invited gardening friends and friend of friends to their home, Hudson Bush Farm, in Greenport to exchange heritage plants. The event was so successful that they repeated it year after year. By 2000, it had outgrown Hudson Bush Farm and was moved to the Clermont State Historic Site, a 500 acre property overlooking the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains that was home to seven successive generations of the Livingston family from 1728-1962. Now sponsored by the Friends of Clermont, some 30 vendors gather to sell (mostly) heritage plants. In addition, Friends of Clermont offers plant material grown in the historic gardens there, as well as gardening books and gifts.
