Bronxville Beautification Council Spring Garden Party was a Huge Success

By Carolyn Moriarty

July 12, 2023: On a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon, garden lovers gathered to celebrate, well, gardens! 

On the lushly landscaped property of the Mullen family on Argyle Place, guests were treated to wine, hors-d’oeuvres and live music. 

The music, courtesy of “Off Topic” a local ensemble of Bronxville High School seniors pictured below, was the perfect accompaniment to a spectacular afternoon.

The event was the Bronxville Beautification Council’s (BBC) annual garden party, the proceeds of which pay for plants, planters, flowers, flowering trees and shrubs that brighten Bronxville’s central business district.

As a 501c3 organization, the BBC receives no tax revenue for these projects and is entirely dependent on the generosity of area residents and merchants.  This year’s event will help pay for new planters, flowers and flowering shrubs along Pondfield Road, Kraft Avenue, Park Place and Palmer Avenue. 

The BBC leadership includes the following individuals:

Honorary Chair: Mayor Mary Marvin
President: Valerie Otto

Treasurer: Andrew Korb
 
Directors 
John Augustyn

Hershell George
Anne Coyle Lemberger
