Nancy & Dan Crabbe's Garden on the Navesink River

The property, at an elevation of 150-feet overlooking the Navesink River, was originally developed to showcase a Japanese bonsai collection created by the owner’s aunt. The bonsai have moved on to a county park, and the garden has been extended and currently reflects its original bones coupled with naturalistic English garden flowers and shrubs. It is a peaceful and rustic space.
