Often remarked upon for a natural splendor not often seen in major American cities, Portland is also a city of gardens, with an incredible breadth and depth among these public jewels. While planning a vacation this summer, Portland’s vibrant arts, culture, food, and shopping experiences will be excellently paired with visits to these spaces that reconnect you to nature and can even introduce you to the diverse cultural heritages that informed their creation.

This is a Japanese-language press release announcing the appointment of Lisa Christy to the role of Executive Director of Portland Japanese Garden.

Portland Japanese Garden has announced the appointment of Lisa Christy as Executive Director of the organization. Christy has been with the Garden since 2014 and, for the past five years, served as Chief External Affairs Officer.

Portland Japanese Garden is happy to share that it is reopening today, Monday, January 22 after having been closed for more than a week due to inclement winter weather.

With a symphonic medley of verdant greens, the Garden invites year-round serenity through the contemplative tranquility of nature. However, autumn is a special time of year when Portland Japanese Garden is transformed into a stunning display of crimsons and golds.
