The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and enhancement of the historic Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers, New York. The gardens are part of the Untermyer Park and Gardens, which were originally created by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent lawyer and civic leader, in the early 20th century.
The Untermyer Gardens are renowned for their historical and horticultural significance. They were designed in the early 20th century by William Welles Bosworth, a renowned landscape architect, and were known as "America's Most Spectacular Garden" during their heyday.
The gardens encompass various terraces, courtyards, and themed areas, each with unique horticultural elements and design inspirations. Some of the notable features include the Walled Garden, the Temple of Love, the Vista Overlook, and the Indo-Persian Garden.
It is free for public to visit. On the day we visited it rained on and off, but it did not stop us walking around and enjoy the gardens.
