A view of the Hudson River and the Palisades at sunset were the main attractions at a benefit for that lovely public garden and estate in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, Wave Hill. But for the green-thumbed patrons (or aspiring ones) who attended, the Wave Hill Gardeners’ Party also had much else on offer: hundreds of plants for sale; exotic items for auction, including a sterling silver necklace donated by its maker, Janet Mavec, and a copy of Harvard University Press’s limited facsimile edition of “Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium,” donated by Susan Morgenthau — as well as great people watching.
