The ebb and flow of the garden’s subdividing hedge rows create a series of micro spaces within that allow visitors to engage and interact with the garden in a variety of ways and at their own pace. A hierarchy of pedestrian paths permeate through the garden in a maze-like network. This configuration promotes fluid movement between the more social group viewing areas along the wide formal perimeter walk, with the immersive experience of the smaller paths within. The curvilinear hedge rows gracefully stretch vertically, where the datum created by their sculptural form raises to allow for archway openings through and between zones. The terraced elevation of the zones provides an underlying infrastructural function, where stormwater is collected in low-lying wetlands. At the same time, the terracing uniquely engages visitors in the adjacent public spaces through curated views, encouraging an exploration of the garden and the opportunity to learn about how China’s native plant species have influenced public space design in the United States and throughout the world.
