According to Untermyer Gardens,

Samuel Untermeyer purchased Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers, NY, it was founded by Stephen F. Byrns. He was a prominent lawyer, investor and was involved in public welfare. Samuel and his wife Minnie were advocates for women's suffrage and supporting women's right to vote.

"Samuel Untermyer was also passionately interested in horticulture. He famously said that if he could do it over again, he would want to be the Parks Commissioner in New York City! Unlike most wealthy garden-owners, Untermyer was expertly knowledgeable about horticulture. The level of horticulture at the Untermyer Gardens was nationally famous, and some great gardeners got their training there. "

A 'Premiere' Hudson Valley treat shop was expanding their space during the winter months to prepare for a busy summer season.

Thankfully, we have a large selection of local ice cream shops to visit in the Hudson Valley.
