Phase II Under Way - Goal: $22 million
Thanks to the generosity of local, national, and international donors who gave $18.3 million, Phase I of the Chinese Garden at The Huntington was completed in 2008. The Garden of Flowing Fragrance (Liu Fang Yuan 流芳園) is one of the largest, finest, and most authentic classical Chinese style gardens outside of China. It includes a lake, seven pavilions, and five bridges set amidst a landscape of plants native to China and Southern California. Designed to inspire and educate, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance hosts a rich program of lectures, festivals, and world-class Chinese cultural events, all funded by private donations.

Working with our partners in China, we are continuing construction of Phase II, which will add remarkable new areas for enjoyment and education. A portion of Phase II, including a boat pavilion, stage and courtyard, and rockery have already been built. Additional pavilions, an art gallery, and display of miniature landscapes remain to be constructed, and when completed, will make the Garden of Flowing Fragrance the only center for the study of Chinese garden culture in America, allowing all visitors to learn and enjoy Chinese art, literature, history, architecture, botany, and design.
The projected cost to build Phase II is $22 million, with approximately $8 million remaining to be raised. Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Permanent recognition starts at $10,000 and special recognition opportunities begin at $100,000.
As a beloved, world renowned resource for scholars, schoolchildren, families, and the community, The Huntington provides an incomparable context for the Garden of Flowing Fragrance. Now, by helping to complete Phase II, you can help ensure that the Garden of Flowing Fragrance becomes fully realized for future generations.
