The Kohan Reflection Garden
This public Japanese-style garden was established to honour the many Canadian citizens of Japanese heritage who were forcibly resettled to the B. C. Interior in 1942. A reflection of their gardens, it is a serene lakeside place for contemplation and for enjoyment of the natural and complementary landscapes. The Kohan Garden is located at the end of lst Avenue, New Denver, south of Centennial Park and Campground, along Lake Slocan.
The Garden was conceived in 1988 by the Slocan Lake Garden Society, a volunteer, non-profit organization locally known as the SLUGS. Work began in 1990. The SLUGS maintain the Garden, raising funds for their work through donations, raffles, and Friday Market sales of T-shirts, cards, books, and Kohan Plant Guide.
From May through October, a Kohan Garden Map and Plant Key is available for a $1.00 donation from the Centennial Park Campground Attendant, Site #6. It will serve as your guide to the 210 different varieties currently planted there.
