Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
Our September Soirée virtual fundraiser for the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy is approaching. It will celebrate the garden’s accomplishments, raise crucial funds for its support, and honor Mayor Mike Spano, who has played an instrumental role in the renaissance of the garden and the City of Yonkers. Stay tuned for an invitation to join our celebration.

Sunset Tours and Sunset Yoga classes have allowed us to experience the gardens in this golden light.

In addition to our popular Sunset Yoga classes, we have a new kind of class in the gardens on September 13: Drawing with Donna Giambrone Ingram. Donna will encourage students to immerse themselves in the environment and challenge them to see with a new eye. All levels are welcome.
