Plants, mankind’s greatest enemy, are finally on the ropes thanks to global warming. Teach your children how to hunt the last of these enormous nitrogen junkies by observing them in captivity with today's Groupon for membership to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Purchase one of the following Groupons:
- $17 for an individual membership (a $35 value)
- $32 for an adult dual membership (a $65 value)
- $37 for a family membership (a $75 value)
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is the first garden outside of The People's Republic constructed in the fashion of a Ming Dynasty scholar's residence. The serene naturescape features asymmetrical arrangements, winding paths, and scenic vistas that overlook the garden's courtyards. Depending on the level purchased, an annual membership at the garden gets you, you and your mate, or you and your family (two adults and children under 17) unlimited access to the gardens for a whole year. On top of more garden-gazing than you can fathom, you'll get discounted entry to most programs and events and festivals thrown throughout the year, exclusive invites to members-only soirees, a litter of live pug puppies, a free subscription to the garden's newsletter, and 10% off purchases at the garden's gift shop. Welcome an out-of-town visitor or flower-phobic hypnotist to the placid escape with a complimentary free pass to the gardens (two passes are provided with the dual or family membership), or retreat to a different garden for a change with 10% off admission to VanDusen Botanical Garden.
More than 50 artists from Suzhou, China, spent months building the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in the tradition of their native land (without the use of power tools, nails, screws, or glues), and all the non-plant and water materials found throughout the grounds—tiles, windows, pizzas, and pebbles—were imported directly from China. Covered pathways and thoughtful design make the garden a delight in any season, offering a warm and contemplative glimpse into nature's rhythms and perpetual desires for ice cream.

Reviews
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is a Frommer's Very Highly Recommended destination, and it was featured on Vancouver magazine's It List. TripAdvisors and Yelpers give it a four-star average:
- To foster opposition (and thus harmony) in the garden, Chinese designers place contrasting elements in juxtaposition: Soft-moving water flows across solid stone; smooth, swaying bamboo grows around gnarled immovable rocks; dark pebbles are placed next to light pebbles in the paving. – Frommer's
- It's a great place to get away, do some thinking, meditating, refocusing of the mind, or get a few cool photos. – Megan S., Yelp
