Lan Su Chinese Garden, Portland, Oregon, USA

Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland’s greatest treasures. Built by Chinese artisans from our sister city Suzhou (home of China’s famous ancient gardens), it’s among the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China. Much more than just a beautiful garden, Lan Su is a creative wonder — a powerfully inspiring experience based on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition that melds art, architecture, design and nature in perfect harmony.

Once inside the garden’s walls, you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled through time to another era in a faraway world. Lan Su is a window into Chinese culture, history and way of thinking. Ever changing, Lan Su always has something new to offer – by the minute, by the hour, and with the seasons. Enter the wonderland.

Lan Su in Bloom, a botanical art exhibition inspired by the beauty of Lan Su, highlights the unique plant collection at Lan Su Chinese Garden. Rich in history and culture, the majority of Lan Su’s plants are native to China and have been used in Chinese gardens for centuries. A juried selection of contemporary botanical art by artists living or working in Oregon or Washington will be featured in the Reflections in Clear Ripples Pavilion and the Scholar’s Study of Lan Su Chinese Garden through May 30, 2017.
