About

Portland Japanese Garden is a cultural institution dedicated to sharing the beauty and philosophy of Japanese garden design with visitors in Portland, Oregon. While primarily focused on Japanese cultural arts and aesthetics rather than native plant conservation, the organization engages the community through garden experiences, cultural demonstrations, and educational programs. The garden serves as a venue for appreciating nature's elements, including moss and seasonal scenery, and offers opportunities for visitors to connect with Japanese horticultural traditions. Through memberships, events, and community engagement initiatives, Portland Japanese Garden provides accessible ways for the public to experience and learn about the artistry of designed landscapes.
