About Us
The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, in partnership with the City of Yonkers, works to restore, interpret, and enhance Untermyer Park and Gardens and to raise funds to support its annual operation and capital expenses.
This 43-acre public garden, created in 1917 by Samuel and Minnie Untermyer, combines exceptional horticulture, monumental architecture, and multicultural design in a majestic natural setting overlooking the Hudson River. The Conservancy is committed to sharing this outstanding resource with a diverse, global audience. Admission to the garden, a municipal park owned by the City of Yonkers, is free of charge.
