Japanese Tea Garden

This lovely oasis was originally designed c. 1909 by Japanese landscape architect Taro Otsuka as a private garden for George and Nelle Fabyan. The garden is open to the public on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. and can be reserved for private tours at other times. Visitors can learn about Japanese Garden theory as well as Fabyan History or just enjoy the tranquil beauty of the garden. Saturdays are set aside for weddings as the garden proves to be a perennial favorite for ceremonies and photographs.

For a tour or more information about the garden please e-mail fabyanvilla@ppfv.org or call 630.377.6424. To reserve the garden for a wedding or photographs please call 630.232-1242.

The Japanese Tea Garden is located in the Fabyan West Forest Preserve in Geneva, on Route 31, just north of Fabyan Parkway.
