Traditional Japanese Garden
Since 2004, a committee of faculty at Johnson County Community College has pursued plans for a Japanese garden on campus.
We want this primarily to complement the work of students studying Japanese language, culture and history, as well as to bring Japanese culture to the campus at large.
We believe that international education is crucial for today’s students, and that the garden will provide a serene yet stimulating setting for the study of Japanese culture. It will transform routine landscaping into a unique learning environment.
The garden, for JCCC students and the community, will be a setting of learning and contemplation, a place where we can contribute to the care of the environment.
You can help fund a traditional Japanese garden on the Johnson County Community College campus.
JCCC has made a commitment to fund about two thirds of the cost of phase one, a tea garden, and the college needs your help to fund the remaining one third.
The garden will be centrally located and will occupy an area bounded by the Student Center on the north, the ATB on the south, the GYM on the west, and the “Chiller Hill” on the east.
