Discover the joy of the Garden in spring! Many of our flowers have bloomed, creating delightful pops of color throughout our landscape.
Join Portland Japanese Garden and Washington Park for Earth Week, a week-long and park-wide celebration inviting visitors to discover the joy of nature here in Portland!
From wildlife encounters and world-class gardens to museums, forest trails, and playgrounds, Earth Week is your opportunity to experience Portland’s premier park as one interconnected destination. Throughout Washington Park, look for special Earth Week signage guiding you to hands-on activities, conservation moments, and pop-up experiences that highlight the culture, diversity, and wonder of the natural world.
As part of this exciting event, visit the Garden to experience the beauty of spring in bloom, the return of our beloved bonsai, and family-friendly activities in the Family Studio.
Turn your visit into an adventure with the Earth Week Passport scavenger hunt! Print your passport here or ask for an Earth Week Passport at our Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Welcome Center, which will also be stamping and accepting completed passports. Collect stamps from all participating venues (Oregon Zoo Entry Plaza, World Forestry Center Discovery Museum, Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center, Portland Japanese Garden Welcome Center, and Rose Garden Store) to be entered into a special prize pack for your family. Please see Washington Park’s Earth Week page for contest details.
Earth Week is also about how you get here. Ride TriMet and enjoy a car-free trip to Washington Park. It’s one of the simplest, most impactful ways to reduce your footprint while spending time outdoors.
Select a day to purchase daily admission tickets for this event. You can purchase daily admission to the garden up to 10 days in advance.
