The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy

The Conservancy was founded in 2011 to revitalize and improve
Untermyer Gardens, a Yonkers-owned park, which had been called the
most spectacular garden in America before suffering a long period
of severe decline. Its creator, Samuel Untermyer (1858– 1940), was
a highly successful lawyer and progressive figure who campaigned
for women’s suffrage, fought against anti-Semitism, and led the
American resistance to Adolf Hitler as early as 1933. Passionate
about horticulture, in 1916 he commissioned William Welles Bosworth
to design a garden that would outdo the one he had designed for
Kykuit, the nearby Rockefeller estate. Rich in history and cultural
interest, today’s garden comprises 15 cultivated acres of garden
and 28 woodland acres against a backdrop of the Hudson River and
Palisades. A strong appreciation of multicultural influences is
especially striking in the Walled Garden—the finest Indo-Persian
garden in the western hemisphere. Outstanding horticultural
displays, prominent water features, and architectural elements from
various civilizations and historical periods distinguish the
property.

Now in its twelfth year, the Conservancy has restored eight
distinct garden areas and is in the process of restoring/developing
seven more. Among the most beautiful public gardens in the country,
it is one of the few with free admission.  The Conservancy
welcomes more than 150,000 visitors from all walks of like
annually, delivers adult and youth education programs, and presents
an annual concert series in the historic amphitheater. Its outreach
efforts to the local Yonkers community, a working-class city whose
residents represent more than 100 cultures and ethnicities, include
a tree-planting initiative in historically redlined neighborhoods,
an intern program that provides paid employment and career training
to public high school students, and an enriched collaboration with
Yonkers public schools.

Compensation

This is a hybrid, part-time position (24 hours/week; salary
