May 20th (Friday) 10:00 —The Japanese Garden Located in The Arboretum — Lunch at Nearby Starbucks (optional)

This beautiful place is a tranquil space designed to offer all the traditional elements of a Japanese garden. There are winding paths through spectacular trees, and lovely plants, as well as water features, ornate bridges, and stones leading up to “mountain-like perches all coming together to carry the soul through this peaceful experience.” This inspiring area also offers an opportunity to witness wildlife — turtles, colorful koi, and a variety of birds. Join us as we stroll along the intricately crafted paths among the wonderful 3.2-acre site. Afterward, we can go to a nearby Starbucks for a light lunch and beverages.
