Learn More About the Garden’s New Membership Level
Portland Japanese Garden is excited to introduce the Sakura Society, which welcomes emerging leaders from the ages of 21 to 45 to become patrons of the organization. The Sakura Society offers a deeper connection to the Garden and its mission of Inspiring Harmony and Peace through access to tailored opportunities to engage with garden, art, and cultural experts. Additionally, these patrons will get to connect and network at special events with like-minded peers who are passionate about finding peace, harmony, and beauty through nature.
The name of this exciting new endeavor is inspired by sakura (cherry blossoms), flowers that hold deep cultural and symbolic meaning in Japan. Sakura are thought to symbolize renewal and fresh beginnings. These delicate flowers also represent the transient nature of life, serving as a reminder to cherish every moment and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. The cherry blossom season in Japan is often celebrated with hanami, or gatherings held under the blooming trees. It is a moment for people to find pleasure and community in nature.
A membership in the Sakura Society will provide vital support to Portland Japanese Garden’s operations and programming and will help sustain it as a community resource. Additionally, it will enable us to continue serving the growing number of visitors the organization sees every year.
Gardens are never truly complete—they’re an ongoing and multi-generational effort. Portland Japanese Garden is looking forward to further establishing itself as a place where the hope of the future can bloom.
