Garden Club hears about Asian Garden Tours
On Monday February 6, 2012 Wapello County Master Gardeners Club will have
the great good fortune to hear retired educator Dr. Tom Stanley, currently of Pella Iowa,
speak about his work as a walking tour guide in Japan for
5 months of the year.
Dr. Stanley lived most of his life in Asia after
moving there at the age of 10. After completing a PhD at the Universityof Arizona,
he taught in Japan, Hong
Kong and other Asian universities for over 20 years. While teaching there, a research project
developed into a travel company, Walk Japan Ltd. (www.walkjapan.com).
Upon retiring in 2008, he moved to Pella from
where he travels to Japan 2 or 3 times a year to conduct tours.
