60th Anniversary Special: Conversations with the Chief Curator

In celebration of Portland Japanese Garden’s 60th Anniversary, we invited Garden members to join us on September 17, 2023 for a special opportunity to hear from Chief Curator Sadafumi (Sada) Uchiyama about the garden, its history, and intentionality.
Uchiyama is a fourth-generation Japanese gardener and landscape architect who’s been at the Garden for more than 15 years, playing a key role in the vision of Portland Japanese Garden as a cultural institution, the construction of the Cultural Village and Entry Garden, and the establishment of Japan Institute and its International Japanese Garden Training Center.
He was joined in conversation by Portland Japanese Garden Board of Trustees Member and its former President (2017-18), Dorie Vollum.
