25th Anniversary Mosaic Cleaning: Volunteer Groups Needed!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Lan Su Chinese Garden

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 3 people are interested

If you have been to the garden, you may have noticed the beautifully detailed, hand-laid mosaic tile that flows throughout the entire garden. Each stone was carefully put into the mosaic by Chinese artisans from our sister city, Suzhou, China. Each mosaic in the garden has a different meaningful design with cultural significance, it is quite a site to see. This year, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, and in preparation for that, we are inviting volunteer groups from our community to assist with the special & historic task of revitalizing the mosaic to bring it back to its original state!

We are looking for volunteer groups to come in the morning, on a regular basis or open to group availability. We can host a max of 10 volunteers per volunteer group.

Opportunity available through August 2025.
