Join Stephen Morrell, horticulturalist and long-time student of tea, for an intimate tour of the
Rockefeller Japanese Garden and an in-depth look at the beauty and simplicity of Japanese
gardens. Morrell will discuss the evolution of centuries-old design principles that inform
Japanese gardens and how they can be adapted in America. The tour will include a tea ceremony
demonstration in the sukiya-style tea house designed by renowned Tokyo architect Junzo
Yoshimura.
Please note that the Japanese Garden is not ADA-accessible. It has uneven paths that can be
slippery when wet and there are no restroom facilities. Sturdy, comfortable shoes and weather-
appropriate clothing are recommended
The rain date for this event is Friday, June 23.
