In 2019, Boscobel House and Gardens gave the Philipstown Garden Club (PGC) a wealth of archival information about the plantings on the Dyckman Estate, including lists of the trees and plants.  Using that information, the PGC has undertaken an in-depth redesign of the plantings in the Boscobel Herb Garden.  Matthew Weigman and Felicia Saunders researched the plants appropriate to the period, and their uses, and created a plan for the garden. In addition, they prepared a plant list (see below) including the common and botanical names of the plants as well as a brief notation of their uses in a household of the early 1800s.  Another member, Kathy Fearn Richter created plant labels to identify the plants referred to in the list.

​

After 47 years, an enthusiastic PGC crew turns up each Tuesday morning during the gardening season to continue this important and enduring project of maintaining the Boscobel Herb Garden.
