We’re excited to explore launching the JASC Garden Club, a new community gardening program that brings together hands-on learning, Japanese culture, and wellness through nature.

This program is designed for all ages—from preschool and youth participants to adults and seniors—and will offer opportunities to grow plants, learn new skills, and connect with others in a meaningful way.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just curious to learn, we’d love to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey and help shape this program.
