Help us celebrate 50 years of beauty and tranquility!
May 24 – September 1
Our beloved Japanese Garden is turning 50! Discover the timeless harmony of nature and design. Delight in quiet spaces, delicate bonsai, calming activities, and stories that reveal the deeper meaning behind each stone and bloom. The exhibit extends beyond our Japanese Garden, inviting you to learn about the origins and intentions behind our space. As you make your way back to our Japanese Garden, you will be ready to identify and appreciate the many conscious efforts made to reflect the traditional elements and values of Japanese garden design.
Japanese gardens are often given names which reflect their characters. Gan Ryuu Tei, the name of our garden, means Rock Stream Garden. The rock stream, as well as symbolic mountains and clouds, can be appreciated while on a short walk through the Japanese Garden.
