Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
In mid-July the gardens are lush and the colors are bright. If you haven't yet made your way to Yonkers, now is the time. Our free timed entry system is by reservation only; we hope you'll sign up to visit soon.
For an even better visit, this weekend our Conservancy president, Stephen F. Byrns, will lead a tour on Sunday morning at 11:00 am: sign up to walk with him and learn about Samuel Untermyer's complicated friendship with Albert Einstein, his not-so-friendly competition with J. P. Morgan, and his love of gardens.

Just looking at foliage makes you feel a little cooler on a hot summer day.
Butterflies and bees love the allium we planted in a sea of Japanese forest grass. This painted lady butterfly didn't budge when approached for a photograph.
If you ever thought that forty kinds of hydrangeas might be a few too many, the contrast between the tiny blue curled flowers of Hydrangea 'Ayesha' and the ombre layers of Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowflake' should help you change your mind.
Daucus carota 'Dara' is blooming its head off near the Temple of Love right now. This beautifully colored wild carrot cultivar elevates Queen Anne's Lace to Empress.
