Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
Last week's tropical storm caused significant damage in the gardens, and we spent the entire week surrounded by the growl of chainsaws. Losing a specimen tree in the gardens is painful, and we are sad to let you know that the great oak that towered above the Temple of Love shade garden fell in the storm, narrowly missing the Temple itself, but impacting the garden below it.

During the hot days of summer, the increasing temperature of the water in the reflecting pools and canals encourages the aquatics to bloom in even greater numbers.
Upcoming events this weekend in the gardens include a Sunset Yoga Class with Sarah Knox on Sunday, August 16, at 7pm.
The following weekend, we will be welcoming the Victor LaGamma Quartet for "Jazz in Paradise" on August 23 at 5:30pm. All of our events require visitors to wear masks and socially distance. Our capacity is limited: get your tickets before they sell out!
