Construction Impacts During 2009


The Japanese Garden will continue to operate from the East Gate in 2009 until the completion of construction on the new Gate House. Please stay tuned to our website for information on the grand opening of this facility next Spring.

In the mean time, help us to plan for program expansion in our new space. Attached below is a link to a brief set of four survey questions that will help us create the programming you want to see.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts so we can tailor this programming to meet your interests and schedules. We value your time and input.
