Lan Su Chinese Garden is excited to announce Nights of the Golden Flower, the marquee event of this year’s Chrysanthemum Festival. Held on the evenings of November 1, 2, and 3, this immersive experience will showcase 18 pieces of large, illuminated chrysanthemum floral installations in a magical nighttime setting.
An Enchanting Evening with Chrysanthemums
As the Chrysanthemum Festival unfolds, Nights of the Golden Flower offers a captivating way to experience Lan Su after dark. In Chinese culture, chrysanthemums—known as the “golden flower”—are symbols of endurance, longevity, and scholarly pursuit, making them a beloved subject in autumnal poetry and art.
In partnership with the Pacific Northwest Florist Association, Lan Su will be featuring the extraordinary talents of renowned floral designer Brenna Quan AIFD, alongside 17 other accomplished local floral artists. Together, they will transform the garden into a glowing landscape of chrysanthemum-adorned floral installations. Each design will be illuminated, creating a magical nighttime atmosphere that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Visitors will also have the chance to vote for their favorite floral creation during the event.
