Copy of Horticultural Garden Tours with Michael Alliger and Michael Stusser

Osmosis founder Michael Stusser and tree pruning expert Michael Alliger will lead a two-hour guided tour of the Osmosis meditation garden. This garden extensively incorporates stone, water, and deer-resistant plants to create the tranquil atmosphere of a Japanese-style design.

During the tour, visitors will gain an in-depth understanding of the underlying Zen themes woven into the rock arrangements and pond layout. The tour will also highlight information about the planting themes and plant materials.

Over many years, the garden has continuously evolved. Preeminent Japanese landscape designer Robert Ketchell of Britain designed the garden, while the late Steve Stucky, a landscaper and Zen priest, built it.
