SUMMARY:The Art of the Japanese Garden

The lecture also draws upon wider examples to illustrate the distinctive qualities that the Japanese have brought to garden design\, an approach successfully adapted to modern domestic settings and to Japanese gardens abroad. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 7 September 2026 Mudgee (NSW) \nWednesday 9 September 2026 Orange (NSW) \nTuesday 15 September 2026 Scone (NSW) \nThursday 17 September 2026 Armidale (NSW) \nMonday 28 September 2026 Coffs Coast (NSW) \nTuesday 29 September 2026 Bowral (NSW) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
