Construction Impacts on 2008 Event Schedule
The Japanese Garden will not be able to host the Moon Viewing
or Respect for Elders events in 2008 because of the construction
that will be under way this summer. We regret this impact on both
of these popular events, and look forward to scheduling these again
in 2009.
