The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, which opened in 1977, is a hidden gem set on 16 acre as in Delray Beach, part of Palm Beach County in Florida. Designer Hoichi Kurisu created six distinct Japanese gardens known as Roji-en, the Garden of Dew Drops, surrounding a series of man-made lakes. Each garden is inspired by a different period of Japanese history. This presentation will take you on a stroll through the gardens, featuring bridges, water elements and a bamboo grove, and then beyond to the bonsai collection and koi pond.

At this meeting you will also have the opportunity to sign up for our annual Christmas Party, which will be held at Earnscliffe. Date to be announced.
