Untermyer Gardens

The official YouTube channel of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy.
The Conservancy partners with the City of Yonkers to improve and interpret Untermyer Gardens, a public garden of national significance and international character.

Created by Samuel Untermyer (1858-1940), an influential lawyer and progressive figure, and designed by William Welles Bosworth, it had been called the most spectacular garden in America in the 1920s. Today’s garden comprises 15 cultivated acres of garden and 28 woodland acres in a majestic natural setting overlooking the Hudson River. Distinctive architectural elements and prominent water features can be found throughout the property, which is home to the finest Indo-Persian garden in the western hemisphere.   

The rare public garden that is open to the public without charge, Untermyer Gardens welcomes more than 100,000 visitors annually and is the top destination for visitors in Westchester County.
