Chinese Garden North Courtyard

The Chinese Garden’s North Courtyard, also known as the Court of Assembled Worthies, is a grand setting for a large, elegant banquet.

Centered between two authentic Chinese pavilions, the Chinese Garden North Courtyard offers a majestic setting for any event. The Scholar Studio’s raised terrace provides a natural stage and, directly opposite, the Clear and Transcendent Lakeside Pavilion offers another focal point for music, dancing, or programmatic elements.

This is a Premier Garden Space that requires a Society of Fellows or Corporate Partners membership.
