Historical Description:

Founder Natalie Hays Hammond (1904-1985) designed the gardens based on Japanese and Chinese stroll gardens. She used both popular and rare Japanese and Chinese plants as the New York environment would permit. The museum is a dedicated cross-cultural center that sponsors and hosts events, exhibits, music, and art of the New York metropolitan area.

The Site:

The Hammond Museum’s stroll gardens contain a variety of Japanese and Chinese plants and fauna. Additionally, a variety of exhibits are featured throughout the year. The Adams School of Art is also housed on site, offering classes and workshops in painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpting and special studies.
