The season is here to make annual repairs. Give by May 31, so that funds are in place to restore, repair, do the necessary maintenance on the ornate Teahouse windows and support all the programs of Lan Su Chinese Garden.
Artisans fabricated the ornate Teahouse windows from nanmu, a precious wood that is unique to China and South Asia. This wood is threatened now by habitat loss due to overcutting. The butterfly motifs on the widow carving symbolize fortune and longevity. A good wish welcomes the Teahouse guests and frames unforgettable views of Lan Su.
The southern sun, rain, and wind have taken their toll on the Teahouse. There is no way to replace these precious nanmu windows. We must restore them now before there is more damage from the elements. This complex project will take many weeks and once completed will last five years. The cost of the project is estimated at $120,000.
Your contribution supports this essential work and prevents further damage to these irreplaceable windows. Will you help preserve the Teahouse Ornate Windows?
Your gift today will preserve what the garden experience means to you and will preserve the teahouse where you gather with your loved ones, share stories, make new memories, and have special moments together.
