Description
Join us for a fun and creative hands-on workshop designed for children, families, and adults and get the chance to explore the beauty of Japanese gardens and their essential elements, such as stone bridges, plants, and water features.
Participants will design and create their own garden-inspired craft: a miniature creature, doll, or imaginative character using natural and recycled garden materials. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity for families to create together, encouraging parent–child bonding, shared creativity, and intergenerational learning.
