Garrison
In the summer of 2017, Boscobel House & Gardens on the Hudson River in Garrison, NY showcased an exhibition titled “Make-Do’s: Curiously Repaired Antiques.” Make-dos include everyday household objects, such as porcelain teapots with silver replacement spouts and or tin handles. The exhibition also included treasured relics, such as a decanter riddled with staples that was once owned by Washington Irving. All examples of historic attempts to reduce, reuse, and recycle. As part of this exhibition, Boscobel partnered with the Desmond-Fish Library in Garrison to hold their first Repair Cafe. Since then, Repair Cafes have been held every summer outdoors at Boscobel.
