Fall Flower Show 2025: Visions of Japan
OCT. 4 – 26, 2025
Fall Flower Show: Visions of Japan celebrated the prominence of the chrysanthemum in Japanese culture through vibrant autumnal displays. Mums in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors were presented alongside evocative props including jewel-toned fans, a moon gate, a pagoda, foot bridges and more. These mums were grown using traditional Japanese techniques like disbud and cascade.
The narrative focused on how the human-nature connection is manifested in Japan. Highlights include the joyous festivals (aki matsuri) and parades that celebrate the autumn harvest season, the symbolism of chrysanthemums in Japanese garden culture and more. Broadly, the show presented an opportunity to discuss some of the unique strategies originated in Japan to promote horticulture as therapeutic, including Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing).
