The Humes Garden is a fine example of a Japanese stroll garden in the Northeast United States, seamlessly integrating ageless Japanese landscape techniques with the woodland terrain of Long Island’s North Shore. The Garden Conservancy was instrumental in saving the garden from closing in 1993 and now manages the garden on behalf of the Humes Japanese Stroll Garden Foundation and oversees its long-term preservation.
