Community Center and Event Space

Kyoudou Center

This building is the Gresham Japanese Garden’s home base—where we come together every Saturday to work in the gardens. We host workshops, cultural events, special events, weddings, etc.

GJG is finished with the capital campaign of transforming their building to Japanese-inspired architecture, creating the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center as a cultural destination.
