Garden Party at Japanese Garden Helps Expand Educational Programming

The Seattle Japanese Garden’s annual fundraiser, The Garden Party, is set for Friday, July 20, at 5:30 p.m. The community is invited to stroll the garden, enjoy light dinner and drinks and place bids at the silent and live auctions, helping to support the expansion of educational programs and events and provide funding for the horticultural needs of the garden. 

To continue to attract a diverse audience, the staff at the garden is building on programming that deepens understanding of traditions, history, art, culture and horticultural aspects of the garden. Tickets for the third annual Japanese Garden Party are $75 and may be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com. The garden is located in the Washington Park Arboretum at 1075 Lake Washington Blvd. E. in Seattle.

Seattle Japanese Garden is a cherished cultural treasure in Seattle and one of the most highly regarded gardens of its style outside of Japan. With the completion of the entry gatehouse three years ago, the garden has experienced an increase in the number of visitors each year. The garden is three-and-a-half acres of artfully placed trees, shrubs, flowers, moss, stones, lanterns, streams, ponds, paths and bridges that create a harmonious balance of Northwest and Japanese plants and Japanese garden design.

The Japanese Garden Advisory Council sponsors nine events in the Garden for visitors (they are described at http://seattlejapanesegarden.org/). For more information, visit www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/japanesegarden.htm.
