Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) in partnership with Purdue University Professor of Landscape Architecture Dr. Huang invites the public to provide feedback regarding a future Chinese Garden.
The Chinese Garden honors the Carmel-Xiangyang Sister City initiative, which was created in 2012 to promote educational and cultural exchange between the city of Carmel and the city of Xiangyang, China. CCPR has partnered with Dr. Huang and Purdue University students in the landscape architecture program, including a Carmel High School graduate, to develop plans for a Chinese Garden. CCPR is working in collaboration with Carmel Clay Schools on the possible location of the proposed Chinese Garden.
