Huntington Library Chinese Garden

Pasadena, California

Water features and rockwork unite to form harmony and balance in these lush gardens designed to enrich the mind and spirit. Our artisans paid deep respect to the site’s natural beauty when building lakes and streams at the site. When creating a lake, we carefully placed rock imported from China’s Lake Tai around the water’s edge to evoke the craggy mountains of a Chinese landscape painting. As part of our work, we also completed the water features’ recirculation and biological systems to support the garden’s lush aquatic plant life.
