The Garden is moving to UBC! During Asian Heritage Month, visitors of the Irving K. Barber Centre will have the opportunity to the experience the history, culture and symbolism of the Classical Chinese Garden in a series of specially-curated and thematic display cases. This exhibition can be viewed on the IKBLC Foyer, located on the 2nd floor of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. In addition, a program will accompany this exhibition on May 24, 11.30AM.
As part of the programming planned for the exhibition, a moderated presentation will be hosted for collaborated garden conversations with the UBC Botanical Garden and Nitobe Japanese Garden. Join us on UBC Alumni Weekend to listen to speakers in lively talks about these built spaces of nature and the role they play in our contemporary urban contexts. All are welcome, the event is free.
