Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
Though the garden is largely dormant during the winter, if you look carefully, you will glimpse striking examples of color and life. Here, some handsome fungus grows on a fallen tree trunk near the ancient Roman columns at the bottom of the Vista:

Timothy Tilghman will once again moderate a panel of speakers at our annual virtual winter symposium, to be held on Sunday, February 11. We have invited three vegetable garden experts to share their advice for our new ornamental vegetable garden.
K Greene, co-founder of the Hudson Valley Seed Company, will address heirloom and open-pollinated seed selection and how we can help our plants thrive after germination.
Niki Jabbour, the award-winning author, radio host, and garden expert from Halifax, Nova Scotia, will share her amazingly productive techniques and approaches to success in her own home food garden.
David Mattern, who is responsible for the ornamental vegetable and cutting gardens at Chanticleer Garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, will focus on healthy plants as the key to production and attractiveness. Please join us for this most informative event.

Our 2023 Grand Holiday Illumination was our best ever, with more than 31,000 visitors. The weather surely helped, as did the excellent television coverage on CBS News and News 12. We want to give a huge thank-you to our sponsors: Yonkers Economic Development Corporation, ArtsWestchester, Domino Sugar, AVR Realty, Fred M. Schildwachter & Sons, and St. John’s Riverside Hospital.
Ours is the only free holiday light show around, which we see as part of our mission to further Samuel Untermyer’s progressive vision. We are grateful for the many community groups who volunteer their time as greeters and servers and are instrumental in the event’s success.

Of course, it is above all thanks to our gardeners that the Illumination never looked lovelier. Right now, they are removing the lights as the show is dismantled.
Parker and Clayton Calvert, artists as well as brothers, graciously donated this spectacular drone video of the Illumination. Treat yourselves!
Gratefully,
Stephen F. Byrns, President
