Japanese Garden
Capital Campaign
NPBGS is actively raising funds for the Japanese Garden. We initiated fundraising in 2022 with a direct appeal to some of our past supporters. NPBGS continues to raise funds and develop the Japanese garden in phases.
Phase 1: the Japanese Entry Dry Garden, located along 28th Ave N and as seen in our photo, was completed in 2022.
​
Phase 2: The Site Development was done and completed in 2023. This work included earth excavation, contouring & grading, plus irrigation installation, pathway construction, and grass seeding.
​
Phase 3: A Major Tree and Shrub Planting was completed in 2025.
​
Phase 4: A Koi Pond and Landscaping is planned for 2026.
​
As we complete the major phases, we set stones, plant additional trees and shrubs, and construct structures such as the zigzag bridge – all as time and money permit.
​
We are seeking funding for the construction of Phase 4 in 2026, which includes the Koi Pond and Landscaped Hillside Stream.​
​
THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF THIS KOI PROJECT IS $125,017.76.
We ask for your financial support so that we can continue to grow and develop this important addition to the Japanese Garden.
