About the Event
What makes a Japanese garden look like a Japanese garden?
Explore the art of Japanese gardening with our Garden Workshop Series, led by our Garden Curator, Ben Schrepf. This series uncovers the traditional techniques that define Japanese gardens, thoughtully adapted for our desert climate.
Each workshop focuses on essential aspects of Japanese gardening, from precise pruning techniques to constructing bamboo fencing and benches. You'll gain hands-on experience with methods like Japanese pruning, organic topiary, and the Sukashi (thinning) technique, along with guidance on selecting the right tools and rejuvenating older plant material.
Each workshop is stand-alone, allowing you to learn and benefit from any one of them individually.
Topics covered include:
