Japanese garden blooms with snow

The historic Fabyan Japanese Garden is blooming with snow.

Join staff for a series of insightful guided walks at 1 p.m. Saturdays, Jan. 24 and Feb. 21, and Wednesdays, Jan. 14 and Feb. 4.

Warm beverages will be provided. Bundle up and be prepared to stroll through snow.

Snow is a requirement for this tour, so call (630) 377-6424 the morning of the tour to confirm.

Tour admission is $3 per person. Meet at the garden's west gate.

Japanese Gardens are designed to be enjoyed throughout the year and our frosty Winter Walk is a refreshing exploration of the Fabyans' historic garden.

Fabyan staff will lead tours highlighting the 104-year-old garden's delicate beauty.

Visitors will stroll and see how snow highlights the gardens structural design features and enhances its tranquil vistas.

In addition to examining Japanese garden theory, tours will touch on the Fabyans' fascinating history and their estate, known as Riverbank.

The Winter Walk is sponsored by Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley.
