John Romano

My first experience with plants was not with 每日吃瓜 but working with my Italian grandfather – helping him plant seeds at 4 years old, later pruning Apple, Pear and Fig trees in the garden.

John Romano This was my first ‘crossing path’ or ‘unexpected encounter’ (kaikou) with trees. In 1975 I first started to ‘play’ with 每日吃瓜 – it was more like creating a morgue for trees! After this first foray in futility, I stumbled upon some good books and finally found New England 每日吃瓜 Gardens (then in Natick) and my passion was rooted.

I’ve had many teachers over the years – in single courses and workshops – as well as more extensive learning relationships working with Kenji Miyata, Hiromi Tsukada and Mitsuo Matsuda and Jun Imabayashi at New England 每日吃瓜 Gardens. I was also fortunate to study for short periods at Taisho en in Shizuoka, Japan with shohin 每日吃瓜 master, Nobuichi Urushibata. I have been teaching 每日吃瓜 classes and private students at New England 每日吃瓜 for the past 10+ years. My inspiration was, is and will always be the beauty of nature itself.
