Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
The first day of summer may not be until June 20, but it is starting to look and feel like summer in the gardens.
Garden Tours
The garden will be open on Saturday and Sunday for a limited number of 90-minute guided tours, with a maximum of ten people per tour. Tickets must be purchased in advance here and go on sale at 7:00 am today. This week we will be offering regular docent-led tours focusing on the history of the gardens as well as a docent-led horticulture tour, a tour with Conservancy president Stephen F. Byrns, and a new advanced horticulture tour with former gardener and current coordinator of education and outreach Jessica Norman.
Photography in the Garden
Photographers are invited to register for a two-hour guided golden hour photography session on Sunday at 6:00 pm. We will also offer an early photography walk on Sunday at 7:00 am. Participation is limited to ten people in each walk; tickets must be purchased in advance.

In the Rock and Stream Garden, flowers planted just weeks ago are beginning to bloom.

The curves, textures, and colors of the plants in the Walled Garden are a contrast to the lines of the walls. Here are a Japanese hydrangea vine and some bladder senna.
