“A Japanese garden is not only a place for the cultivation of trees and flowering shrubs, but one that provides secluded leisure, rest, repose, meditation, and sentimental pleasure.”

– Professor Takuma Tono, Designer of the Portland Japanese Garden

Did you know? There are three essential elements used to create a Japanese garden.

- Stone: The “bones” of a landscape
- Water: The life-giving force
- Plants: The tapestry of the four seasons

Together, the three elements may be literally or symbolically represented. #portlandjapanesegarden #pjgsummer2021

60 seconds of early morning light permeating the Flat Garden and waking up the plants for the day.

The Flat Garden was carefully designed to highlight the distinctive beauty of all four seasons. The laceleaf Japanese maple is more than a century old and represents autumn, while the weeping cherry signifies spring. Winter is represented by the black pines and summer by the cool “water” of the raked gravel.
