Journey through The Hammond Museum Japanese Stroll Gardens
In Step with Save The Earth Month in Westchester
“A Stroll Garden does not reveal itself all at once. Rather, paths are meant to lead from a view of the pond to a view of a distant landscape. The design of a path directs one’s progression through the garden: large stepping stones slow the walk, encouraging contemplation of the view, while row after row of smaller, more uniform stones create a feeling of excitement or anticipation for an approaching feature. The “journey” through a Stroll Garden is meant to be a highly orchestrated voyage to a deeper understanding of nature.”
