Gresham has a Japanese Garden

(MAY 19, 2023) Gresham has a Japanese Garden. It is an island. It is in a city park.

The name of the island is Tsuru. That is a Japanese word. It means "crane"

There was an old garden before. It was a mess. About 35 volunteers helped to make the new garden. They think it is "amazing."

The garden is at 219 S. Main Street in Gresham.  It is free. It is open all days and all hours.
