On Saturday April 18 starting at noon, you can enjoy everything from grilled hotdogs to Japanese delicacies. As you pass through the Tokugawa Gates and enter the nearly six acre garden, leave your cares behind as you stroll through the hills of the Bluegrass set in a Japanese style garden in Georgetown Kentucky. Most days of the year you can experience waterfalls, arched bridges, Koi ponds and winding paths. On this special day, you will have the opportunity to experience a variety of additional activities including; Taiko (Japanese Drums), Traditional Japanese Song and Dance, the Japanese Tea Ceremony, Origami (the art of paper folding), Gyotaku (fish printing), Karesansui (the dry landscape gardens), Japanese Food, Koto (Japanese Harp), Kyuudo (Japanese Archery), Noh (Ancient Japanese Theatre) performances, firing of Japanese inspired Raku Pottery in the new Kiln House, Art Exhibits and Sale, Garden Tours, various forms of Martial Arts, mini-kite making with K.I.C.K, Canoe trips on scenic Elkhorn Creek and more!

So bring the family and chairs or a blanket to participate in an afternoon of activities. Yuko-En on the Elkhorn is located at 700 Cincinnati Pike (adjacent to historic Cardome Centre) highway 25, just .7 of a mile north of the courthouse in Georgetown Kentucky. The event will be held rain or shine so dress accordingly. 

The garden is operated by the Trustees of the Scott Education and Community Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to empower participants to enjoy life-long learning and positive recreational experiences. Your donations are welcome and they will help us improve facilities, complete our education Villa, Tea House and Kiln House and they will allow us to perpetuate customized programs and guided tours for schools and groups.
