Garden Highlights for Your Guests
One of the things that makes the Japanese Tea Garden so special is how the space changes with every turn—and every season.
You might cross the iconic Drum Bridge, wander into the Dry Landscape Garden or come across the Buddha, quietly watching over the Garden. In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom alongside bright purple irises and in the fall the ginkgo trees explode in gold. The Pagoda Plaza is the only space available within the Garden for private events, and with so many beautiful sights nearby, it offers the perfect backdrop for your event.
