We'll have an article on Chinese gardens in the US in an upcoming issue of US-China Today, but for those interested in the new Huntington Garden (officially opening on 2/23/2008), here are some links:

Yang Ye (UC Riverside), who often speaks to teachers in our seminars, was one of the scholars charged with naming every tree, nook, bridge and building in the garden. His calligraphy can be seen on the teahouse in the garden.

I hope those who visit the garden will share a couple of your pictures via the forum. The place isn't cheap ($20/adults on the weekends), but there are group discounts and I think they have one free Thursday every month.
