Art in the Garden
The Year of the Healing Garden
2012 Art in the Garden Series
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in tune once more.
- John Burroughs, American naturalist (1837-1921)
Throughout history, gardens have been regarded as a source of comfort and healing for mind and body for people in cultures around the world. For almost half a century, the Portland Japanese Garden has served as a place of a refuge for members of this community in times of physical, mental and emotional stress. Working with partners at Legacy Health, National College of Natural Medicine, and Yoga Pearl, the Garden will explore the role of gardens as places of healing through related exhibitions, guest lectures by horticultural therapists and experts from Western and Eastern medical traditions, wellness programs, morning yoga sessions, and other activities.
The Art in the Garden exhibition series is sponsored in part by the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation
