🌸 **Exciting News! The First EuroJGA Workshop is Coming to Europe! 🌸
We are thrilled to announce that from October 17 to 25, 2024, the first-ever EuroJGA Workshop will take place in collaboration with the AFJJ (French Association of Japanese Gardens).
This 6-day immersive experience will span across three breathtaking Japanese-inspired gardens in Europe:
🇧🇪 Hasselt Japanese Garden** in Belgium
🇫🇷 Maulévrier Oriental Park and Erik Bordja’s Zen Garden in France
🌿 What’s the Workshop About?
This unique event will bring together professional landscape gardeners to learn directly from two renowned master gardeners: Takumi YONEYAMA and Makoto TAKAHASHI, both from the Japanese Garden Association. They will share their expertise and traditional skills, passing on the art of Japanese garden design to local professionals and Japanese garden enthusiasts.
🌏 Special Guests from Japan
We are honored to welcome Ms. Yuka ITÖ, from the “Organization for Landscape and Urban Environment,” and Mr. Jiro KOGI, representing the EU-Japan Fest Japan Committee, who are dedicated to fostering cultural exchanges around the beauty of Japanese gardens.
🌸 Supported by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
This event is part of the “Restoration of Japanese Gardens Abroad” project, a remarkable initiative to restore and promote the art of Japanese gardens globally.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a workshop that blends art, tradition, and cultural exchange in some of Europe’s most stunning garden settings!
