2026 Winter Lecture: Reflections on Japanese Gardens
In the autumn of 2025 Untermyer Gardens Conservancy Assistant Head Gardener, Drew Schuyler, received a prestigious Chanticleer Scholarship which allowed him to attend an intensive seminar at Kyoto University of the Arts and enjoy an immersive experience in the gardens of Japan.
Over the course of five weeks, he visited more than 50 temples, gardens, and historical sites across eight cities, gaining insights from countless gardeners along the way.
In this talk, Drew will provide a historical review of Japanese gardens from ancient times to the modern era, with a focus on the places and people that have come to define and influence the idea of the traditional Japanese garden. He will share images from his travels as well as his observations as a professional American gardener seeking horticultural and design inspiration from abroad.
The lecture will take place at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, 921 Madison Avenue, NYC, with a reception following the lecture.
A recording of the lecture will be available starting February 14, tickets sold separately.
