Your Donations Help:
Expanding Access to Japanese Garden Knowledge
Your generosity fuels the expansion of NAJGA’s digital resources. A recent donation-matching program helped fund a long-overdue website refresh, allowing more people to access expert insights, educational content, and event resources. With your continued support, we can further bridge the gap between knowledge and accessibility.
Scholarships for Emerging Professionals
Many dedicated public garden staff, students, and early-career professionals cannot afford to attend NAJGA’s international conferences. Your donations provide scholarships that give them access to:
- Career-changing learning experiences
- Mentorship from leading experts
- Professional development that helps them grow into the next generation of garden leaders
Workshops and Conferences
Donor contributions help make NAJGA’s educational events possible by covering:
- Venue and travel costs, ensuring workshops are more accessible
- Hands-on training materials, equipping attendees with practical skills they can apply immediately.
Your generosity ensures that these opportunities remain available to all who seek them.

A Message from NAJGA Leadership
“Your generosity directly impacts the future of Japanese gardens. Thanks to donor support, last year a scholarship recipient attended their first NAJGA conference, an experience that helped them secure a leadership role to elevate a major public garden. Your gift today fuels similar life-changing stories, ensuring these gardens and traditions continue to thrive. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.”
