About This Cause
The Kubota Garden Foundation (KGF) is a non-profit 501(c3) organization formed in 1989 to continue a partnership with the City and assure the preservation of the entire 20-acre garden as envisioned by the Kubota family. With the support of staff, KGF volunteers implement many programs and projects: conduct tours, greet visitors, help with garden maintenance, and organize publicity and capital projects to build special garden features such as the Terrace Overlook. Working with partner organizations, volunteers implement free cultural and educational events, including Soapstone Carving Workshops for Youth, Japanese Iris Exhibition, and Butoh Dance performances. Volunteers and donor members raise all the revenue for KGF by organizing plant sales, writing grants, and recruiting members. A team of KGF volunteer archivists catalogue and maintain the important historic aspects of the garden. 2019, KGF debuted the film, “Fujitaro Kubota… and his Garden” and in 2020, KGF published the book, Spirited Stone: Lessons from Kubota’s Garden.
