Japanese Garden Preservation Society

Sunday, July 10th was the inauguration ceremony for the Japanese Garden Preservation Society at JACCC in Little Tokyo..
This society was founded by the Southern California Gardeners’ Federation (SCGF) with the help of the Consulate General of Japan in LA to
preserve Japanese-style gardens that are located around SoCal.

The James Irvine Japanese Garden at JACCC was made by the SCGF in 1980 and is one of the Japanese-style gardens that represent LA.

It is said that there are about 40 Japanese-style gardens in SoCal and about 90 throughout the US.
Unfortunately, many of them are uncared for.

At its peak period, SCGF had about 6 thousand members, however, the numbers decreased and currently is about 350.
The federation is also at risk of closing its doors since the skills are not passed down to younger generations.

In such circumstances, Torrance resident Satoru Takura joined the SCGF and became the Co- chairman of Japanese Garden Preservation Society.

This society will mainly do the pruning of pine trees and will not only take care of the Japanese-style gardens but also look after the pine trees of private home gardens as well.

However, maintaining the federation is the biggest challenge, and the key will be how to get the younger generations interested in gardening.
