Few aspects of the traditional Japanese garden are as instantly recognizable as the elegant, distinctive contours of a well-maintained Japanese maple. This year’s Maple Pruning Workshop will be conducted by Sadafumi (Sada) Uchiyama, Curator Emeritus of Portland Japanese Garden, and Mark Bourne, a Japanese-trained master garden creator based in Seattle. With the Garden as the classroom, participants will receive a maple-focused tour, learn the fundamentals of maple pruning through a lecture, and be able to put their pruning methods and techniques to the test under the guidance of Sada, Mark and a staff gardener.
