The Normandale Japanese Garden Festival takes place this Saturday October 8th, from 12-6pm. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the gardens. The festival will have: dancing, flute and drum performances, garden tours, koi feeding demonstrations, Japanese Martial Arts and Archery groups and more.
The Japanese Garden
Normandale Community College’s Japanese Garden is a two-acre oasis on its campus in Bloomington, Minnesota. The beauty and serenity of the garden make it ideal for contemplation and renewal of the spirit.
The garden is open year-round at no charge, except when reserved for special events. We ask that children under 12 not visit the garden without supervision. A self-guided tour brochure is available inside the square shelter located in the garden. If you are not able to visit the garden, our online tour describes the landscaping and architectural features.
The Garden is maintained jointly by the College and the Japanese Garden Committee. The Normandale Community College Foundation acts as the fiduciary agent. This partnership ensures the future of the garden through maintenance, memberships, special gifts, and donations. We invite you to enter our garden through the gallery and then explore the website to learn more about the garden’s features and history.
