Japanese Garden History Talk and Tour

The camellias of Descanso have a storied past. In the heart of the Camellia Forest, hear from Kenko Sone, Consul General of Japan in Los Angeles; Dr. Kendall Brown, professor and Japanese garden expert; descendants of survivors of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station; and Descanso staff.
Remarks will be followed by a walk through the Camellia Forest and the Japanese Garden, which will feature a display from Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition.
