Even though the Storrier Stearns garden is a perfect backdrop for cultural events, festivals and celebrations, Japanese gardens are designed primarily for quiet contemplation and introspection. Our Second Sundays will offer visitors the serenity that has characterized Japanese gardens for centuries, a respite from a hectic world. Chairs and benches will be scattered around the garden and tables will be available for picnics and conversation. Highlighting the summer months will be Tea Talks and Tasting (reserved separately.)

Tea Talks and Tasting
Exploring the Classic Teas of Japan
With Tea Specialist Patti Harrison

Join us for a workshop in the gallery space at the garden to learn about the living traditions of Japanese tea with our tea specialist, Patti Harrison. The format is informal, relaxed fun--and air conditioned!

We will discuss the principal of “Ichi-go Ichi-e” (One Time One Gathering), which reminds us to enjoy each other’s company in each fleeting moment.
