Our Botanical Gardens Expert Says:

Take part in a Japanese tea ceremony, stroll amidst bamboo groves, azaleas, and Japanese irises and you'll feel you've traveled much further east than just Long Island. John P. Humes Japanese Stroll Garden, in Mill Neck, is an exquisite reproduction of authentic Shinto and Buddhist Japanese gardens, which strive to represent Zen precepts and cosmology, and embody the transient beauty inherent in nature's impermanence. United States Ambassador to Japan, John P. Humes created these gardens to follow Japanese tradition spanning several different periods of garden aesthetics. Visitors who take the time to understand the underlying philosophy may find a spiritual experience in a visit to the Humes Japanese Stroll Garden.
