Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
This past weekend we welcomed visitors back to the gardens using free timed admission; it was such a joy to be able to share the July gardens with people. We hope you will sign up to visit soon. We are also bringing back our weekend tours: sign up for a Sunday morning tour focused on the history of the gardens and Samuel Untermyer.
For those missing international travel, perhaps a virtual trip to Persia of the past will provide a welcome escape. On Tuesday, July 21, at 5:30 pm,.Stephen Byrns, the president of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, will deliver a webinar for the New York Adventure Club, “The Persian Gardens of Iran,” a study of gardens in Iran from the time of Cyrus the Great until the late 19th century. Persian carpets and miniatures will provide an interdisciplinary look at the gardens, including their impact on urban design, such as the city of Isfahan. The all-embracing and universal symbolism of a Persian garden will be explained and the connection made to Untermyer Gardens. Tickets may be purchased online for this event.

When we first plant the canal bed annuals, they dot the beds like a pointillist painting. Now they are exuberantly impressionist.
Pollinators are buzzing everywhere.
Bottlebrush buckeye flower spikes are about to bloom by a gate in the lower terrace. They look as if they're dancing when the wind moves them.
