Carmel, Ind. (March 1, 2023) – 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.

CCPR is partnering 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.
