The New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden has been an oasis for many New Yorkers and out of towners with Chinese roots ever since it opened in 1999. The 1-acre green space — inspired by scholars’ gardens from China’s Ming dynasty — is the largest of 14 botanical gardens at Staten Island Snug Harbor, which spans 83 acres. Frances Paulo Huber, who was president and chief executive of Snug Harbor between 2008 and 2010, came up with the idea of creating gardens inside of Snug Harbor years earlier, in 1984. According to the visitor’s guide, she recognized the need to have a site in NYC that was an authentic reflection of Chinese culture. Zou Gongwu, a renowned scholar of classical #Chinesegardens, came up with the design. The work started in Suzhou, China, where more than 40 people spent a year making the roofs, tiles, bridges and windows for the garden. The entire team then traveled to Staten Island and constructed everything without any nails, glue or screws. “It’s hard to believe that such a different and magical world exists so close to home,” said one first-time visitor, who lives 5 minutes away.
