The North Suffolk Garden Club has donated $5,000 to the Department of Urban Horticulture and Design at Farmingdale State College for the purchase of benches for its newly restored conservatory. In accepting the gift, Dr. Richard Iversen noted, “The department’s entire faculty and staff are very grateful for the generous donation from the North Suffolk Garden Club. We have just finished painting the conservatory’s foundation and it is looking splendid.”
