The Nikka Yuko Centennial Garden is one of the most outstanding Japanese-style gardens outside of Japan. Rated at 21 from 150 gardens of its style in North America by Sukiya Living magazine

Established during Canada's Centennial in 1967, it has achieved a world-class reputation through its magnificent design, enthusiastic community involvement and meticulous maintenance.

It is a well-known symbol of Lethbridge and southern Alberta, enjoyed by thousands of local residents and international visitors each year.

We also have our beautiful cherry blossoms that will bud in spring.  We will update the website when the buds start to appear.

The adaptation of time-honoured principles from the mountain-and-sea culture of Japan to the Canadian prairie is a unique story.

This book presents the opportunity to discover the inspirational beauty and history of a garden that has come of age as documented by one of its founders, Robert Hironaka, with horticultural author June Flanagan.

Spectacular images by Van E. Christou, renowned photographer dedicated to recording the garden from its inception to the present, form the centrepiece of the book.
