Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

A new and old tree support.
One of the Summer in the Gardens Concert Series - this time, Chinese. July 2008.
The first phase of the new Chinese Garden opened in 2008, with three other gardens planned, each representing one of the four seasons. It is important to select the right name for a Chinese garden and after long consideration, the garden was named Liu Fang Yuan or "Garden of Flowing Fragrance." The Huntington brought artisans from China to make this garden as authentic as possible inspired by the tradition of private gardens for scholarly pursuits and includes unusually shaped rocks from China's Lake Tai. The garden was designed to respect the site by locating the lake in a natural low spot and existing trees were kept when possible and is located in an area of the gardens not previously open to the public. Harmony is created with eternal rocks and ever-changing water. The structures in the garden include a tea house, viewing pavilions, and bridges, all in authentic Chinese style.
