2025.9.17. History Cafe at MOHAI - Kubota Garden

9/17, Wednesday 6:30pm. Once a month, MOHAI hosts a History Cafe. I've been to a few of these talks, and thouroughly enjoyed them. This one about Kubota Garden is no different.

Ernie Dornfeld, archivist/historian of Kubota Garden Foundation, and information system manager for King County and the City of Seattle, showed us archival photos and the history of the garden and the Kubota family.
Andrew Hem, grandson of Tom & Amy Kubota, recounted his childhood stories in the gardening with family.
Very interesting. I visited Kubota Garden only once during the early pandemic lockdown, and liked. Should go again in early summer or fall for more colors.
