Event Description:

The Seattle Chinese Garden needs help with garden maintenance for the upcoming Bamboo Circle Celebration. Spanning 4.6 acres, it is one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China, showcasing the four traditional elements of a Chinese garden: Plants, stone, architecture, and water. Dense and complex, it changes dramatically with each season and with the annual cycle of cultural festivals and celebrations. Located at South Seattle College, the Garden is designed to feature commanding views of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, and the Cascade Mountains.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will primarily be weeding around the beautiful peonies! No worries if you don't have a green thumb - guidance and instructions will be provided. If you have gardening gloves and a favorite weed removal tool, please feel free to bring them!

What you should know:

The Garden will provide drinks & snacks for volunteers. Garden maintenance will be done outside, so please dress for the weather and bring sunscreen or any additional liquids to stay hydrated. Breaks will also be provided!

A note on parking/getting here: The Garden is located within the South Seattle College campus on the north end, so parking in the college lot is paid only. However, there are plenty of free street parking spaces available, especially along 16th Ave SW.

Please let us know in your RSVP if you're bringing any youth under 18 with you (names & ages). Youth must be supervised by an adult parent/chaperone.

Seattle Chinese Garden:

The Seattle Chinese Garden showcases the rich heritage of Chinese arts and culture to our visitors by building, operating, and sustaining a Sichuan-style Chinese Garden that serves as a bridge of friendship between our region and Chinese people around the world. The City of Seattle and the mountainous Chinese Municipality of Chongqing became sister cities in 1983. In their first agreement, they undertook to create a Sichuan-style Chinese Garden in Seattle as a symbolic bridge of friendship between Seattle and Chongqing.
