The courtyard is called Knowing the Spring (知春院) and was recently finished by Chinese artisans visiting from Chengdu. Although there is still lots of exciting work to be done over the next few years, the garden will open to the public starting February 6, 2011 (please check the official website for hours).
Here is a little peek at the finished courtyard.

Finally Seattle gets a Chinese Garden! Now I don't have to travel to Portland to get my fix. But is there a tea house in the plans for the future? I sure hope so. Seattle would love that, I'm sure :)
