2022 Spring Ikebana Festival

February 24 through March 6, 2022

The Ikebana Festival will announce the arrival of spring at Yume Japanese Gardens with a wide array of colorful floral arrangements displayed in original vases throughout the Gardens ground.

Ikebana, also known as “the Way of the Flowers", is the meditative art of Japanese floral arrangements, and its ideals embody the essence of taste, beauty, and oneness with nature. Ikebana uniquely emphasizes shape, line, and form by giving equal weight to the branches, stems, and leaves of a plant rather than merely arranging its blooms. Classical Ikebana dates to the 15th century and successor schools have emerged since. In all of them, deep-rooted design rules and a Zen-like discipline subtly harmonize nature and the hand of the arranger.

During our annual Spring Ikebana Festival, traditional to contemporary artworks will be presented by local artists and will show the interesting variation in techniques and styles of five major Ikebana schools.

Timed admission tickets, purchased online, are required for entry.

General admission: $17 adults - Children under 15: $5 - Members: $10
