To celebrate the May opening of our NEW, Japanese-inspired “Island Garden”, a generous gift from Don and Jurate Krabill, Wellfield Botanic Gardens is dedicating 2020 to highlighting Japanese culture and its many artistic contributions to the world through a series of special events, drop-in activities, and class offerings. We call this year 季節 Kisetsu: The Year of the Island Garden 2020.
季節 “Kisetsu” translates from Japanese to ‘season’ or ‘time of year’. Each of our four seasonal shows (Spring Splendor, Sensational Summer, Fabulous Fall, and Winter Wonderland) speaks to the elements of seasonality and the Japanese concept of mono no aware, a sensitivity to the ephemeral or impermanence of all things.
With the ever-changing environment the Covid-19 pandemic is bringing us, please keep checking here and on our Facebook page to see how we are updating our programming to keep connecting with you!
