Mytoi

The garden combines native coastal plants with traditional Japanese landscaping elements, including stone paths, ponds, and wooden bridges across salt marshes.

Hugh Jones, an Edgartown architect, began designing this Japanese-inspired garden in the 1950s, maintaining it until his death in 1965.

The garden preserves Eastern landscaping principles while incorporating local plant species, creating a fusion of Japanese and New England horticultural traditions.

Located three miles from the Chappaquiddick ferry, Mytoi welcomes visitors throughout the year with free admission and accessible walking paths.

Hurricane Bob devastated the garden in 1991, leading to a complete restoration that introduced new design elements while maintaining its original character.
