Скачать или смотреть Frederik Meijer Gardens Announce New Japanese Garden

We're happy to announce plans for The Richard and Helen DeVos Japanese Garden. One of the most revered and deeply appreciated international garden styles, the 8 1/2-acre addition will further our organization's dual mission of horticulture and sculpture.

Japanese gardens are one of the most revered and deeply appreciated garden styles in the world. Based in centuries of philosophy and tradition, it is widely admired as among the most artful horticultural practices. Fred and Lena Meijer had long appreciated the traditions and experiences of the Japanese garden. In 2009, Fred Meijer articulated his and Lena's shared love of Japanese gardens and asked about adding one to Frederk Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

During the planning process, it became quite apparent that the concept was universally popular with horticulture and culture aficionados alike, but general audiences as well. In keeping perfectly with the mission of Meijer Gardens, a Japanese garden would not only be popular with members, volunteers and supporters, but with the more than 500,000 guests that visit the organization from across the globe. The universal response to Meijer's inquiry was a resounding YES!
