Video Highlights the Garden Vision
Matt Lincoln, a talented young filmmaker based in New York, spent several weeks in Seattle during the fall 2010 to film the final stages of courtyard construction and interview Garden leaders and supporters. The video "Bridging the Waters" premiered at the Chinese New Year gala and inspired many people to give generously. Watch the video by clicking here!
Come visit to see the exquisite courtyard created by the master Chinese artisans, and the nearby Pine and Plum Pavilion, a charming open-air pavilion in its own garden setting. Bring family and friends. Be sure to spend some time in the Garden's Discovery Center, which displays photos of the artisans at work, stone carving art, a video of courtyard construction, plans for the full five-acre garden, and much more.
Give a Gift That Endures Honor a Family Member or Friend with a Garden Brick
Years from now, visitors to the garden will pass by this wall and be delighted to say, "look, right there, those are my grandparents' names - they helped build this garden."
Give a truly memorable, personalized gift. If you purchase a brick for our donor wall (to be built in 2011) we will prepare a special, numbered certificate for you to give now. This is a great gift for someone who has everything.
Prices vary from $200 to $600 based on the size of the brick and number of lines included. Bricks are made of green granite stone and have gold engraving. The bricks are 100% tax deductible. If you have questions regarding the Brick Campaign, please email bricks@seattlechinesegarden.orgor call the office at 206-934-5219.Click here for Brick forms.
