COSCO Container Arrives in Seattle

           April 4, 2008

China Ocean Shipping Company has generously donated up to 40-40 foot containers to transport China-fabricated materials for our Garden. The first of these arrived in Seattle carrying stone foundations for the wooden columns that will hold up the roof of Knowing the Spring Courtyard.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Greeting this first shipment are:
Tim Banks-COSCO Seattle, Mike Craig, Jon Geiger-SCGS President and Yangming Chu-SCGS Executive Director 
 
 

Chongqing  Gives $1.2 Million for the First Courtyard 


 We have received a gift valued at 1.2 million US dollars from our sister city of Chongqing. Chongqing has donated all materials, labor and associated in-China costs for “Knowing the Spring Courtyard,” the second traditional structure in the Garden. We anticipate opening this first courtyard in the fall of 2008, which is the 25th anniversary of the Seattle-Chongqing sister city relationship. Artisans from Chongqing will arrive in May this year to assemble the components using traditional tools and construction methods. Special educational programs will be offered at the site while the artisans are here.
