Stewards of the Land: Fireside chat by Sadafumi Uchiyama, Chief Curator of Portland Japanese Garden

Join us in our Living Room for a fireside chat with our Chief Curator, Sadafumi (Sada) Uchiyama, as he reflects on 15 years at Portland Japanese Garden. Whether it is maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the Garden for over a decade or creating and integrating the plan for the Cultural Crossing Expansion Project (which expanded the Garden from 5.5 to 12 acres), to helping to establish the North American Japanese Garden Association, to preserving the art of Japanese gardening through the International Japanese Garden Training Center, Sada has made an impact that transcends the physical garden. He embodies a true steward of the land, with a devotion to fostering something greater than himself that will outlast his lifetime.
