Fall is one of the most popular times to visit the Seattle Japanese Garden. In order to prepare the garden for our visitors, our gardeners are busy paying attention to every corner of the garden, especially the maple collection we treasure.

“Our intention is for the trees here to be a harmonious contribution to the over-all picture and narrative of the Garden.” - Pete Putnicki

In this free webinar, our senior gardener, Pete Putnicki will demonstrate how pruning is done on the signature weeping maple near the garden entrance.

Webinar will be followed by a live Q&A with Pete Putnicki.

Kaleidoscope is a series of free virtual events designed to engage with a virtual audience and offer educational content on Japanese gardens and Japanese culture during the Covid-19 pandemic, when access to the physical garden is limited and our usual calendar of interactive cultural events has been cancelled.

Registration is required for this event. Space is limited.

We are proud to offer the Kaleidoscope virtual event series with support from The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.
