Cultural Pass Members,
Greetings from Waterfront Botanical Gardens. We are so excited to be part of the Cultural Pass for the first time in the summer of 2020. We invite you to join us as we explore the east Asian art form of bonsai. Currently, our bonsai collection is housed at an offsite greenhouse and not on display for the public. Your Cultural Pass gets you a sneak peek at our collection that will eventually be part of the WBG’s future Japanese Garden. Our Cultural Pass experience includes an informative video about the history of bonsai, a bonsai craft that you can do at home, and an instructional video of how to write a nature-inspired haiku poem. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at wpeck@waterfrontgardens.org
Thank you and enjoy your experience,
Wanda Peck
