As part of the 5-Year Anniversary Celebration of The Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden, we are excited to welcome Leslie Buck—natural garden designer, aesthetic pruner, and author—as she shares her experience studying in Kyoto with Uetoh Zoen, one of the oldest and most highly acclaimed landscape companies in Japan. Enjoy this Zoom Webinar presentation from the comfort of your own home as Leslie embarks on a garden adventure in Kyoto as seen through the daily lives of gardeners, rather than visitors. Discover the plants, people and creatures in the gardens many people consider living art as she highlights experiences from her memoir, Cutting Back: My Apprenticeship in the Gardens of Kyoto. Leslie Buck’s book will be available for sale in the DeVos-Keeler Gift Shop.

Registration required at MeijerGardens.org/calendar. Please direct questions to Eve Choi at 616-975-3145. A Virtual Pruning Workshop hosted by Leslie Buck and a Book Group on Cutting Back will also be offered. Visit the Events and Classes sections to learn more about this programming.
