Maple Pruning Workshop

Sold Out. Few aspects of the traditional Japanese garden are as instantly recognizable as the elegant, distinctive contours of a well-maintained Japanese maple. This one-day workshop provides a basic understanding for these special maples found in a Japanese garden through a guided, thematic garden tour, lectures on cultural contexts, and various types of maple pruning methods and techniques. In the afternoon, participants will be able to put their skills to the test on a maple tree and go over the basic pruning techniques together with the Chief Curator, Sadafumi Uchiyama.
Tickets will be limited and there will be a lottery system to provide equal opportunity for participation among members. There will only be one lottery for both workshop date options. Selected participants will be contacted by June 24, 2022.
