This contemporary garden, designed by Ken Nakajima, is inspired by the traditional art of Japanese landscaping. Stone, water and plants combine to produce a pure, simple environment in which every element is imbued with symbolism.
Created 1987 to demonstrate friendship and union between Kelowna and its Sister City Kasugai, Japan.
Shin-boku Japanese Stroll garden was built as a demonstration of Japanese gardening in the northeastern USA climate, and to provide a relaxing and educational experience.
The garden honors the Japanese American community in an ongoing way and provides a cultural opportunity to explore a unique style of gardening that exhibits both spiritual and physical aspects.
