The 4.6-acre Seattle Chinese Garden will be one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China, showcasing not only plants, but also stone, architecture and water elements that are customary to Chinese gardens. Dense and complex, it will change dramatically with each season.

    Located at South Seattle Community College, the Garden will reveal commanding views of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay and the Cascade Mountains. The Garden will also feature 12 buildings, including an education center and a banquet hall with special event seating for up to 200 people. The 85-foot Floating Clouds Pavilion will soar over the Garden, placed on an axis with the Space Needle. As a major destination and cultural institution, the Seattle Chinese Garden will inspire new perspectives on world affairs and illuminate China and her cultural and economic influence on the Pacific Northwest.

    Why not bring your experience and enthusiasm by volunteering with the Garden? Seattle Chinese Garden volunteers work with plants, help in our office and assist with programs and events. Sign up to volunteer in areas such as garden work, event planning, committee service, fundraising, and mailing parties. Check out the volunteer matching page to see if your company or employer will match your donation of time with cash grants to the Garden.
