  their collections," says project manager Laurie Sowd, the Huntington's associate vice president for operations.
  
  "We wanted to give them a better sense of how this house really functioned both as a home and as a base for the collection.The museum has always walked a fine balance between being a historic home and an art gallery," Sowd explains.

  Traditional Suzhou "scholar" gardens are regarded as an extension of living space, project manager Laurie Sowd said.
  
  "But the plants are placed every bit as carefully as the buildings are designed," Sowd said."It's artificially created to look natural."
  
  The very California background of oak trees means the gardens don't look exactly like their Chinese counterparts, Sowd said, but they do conform to the Chinese aesthetic and give "a sense of age and history."

  But that's exactly why an institution like the Huntington exists, says Laurie Sowd, project manager of the garden.The goal is to preserve the enduring works of those on whose shoulders our world is built.
  
  China, experts agree, has the oldest continuous tradition of garden design on the planet.China is also the origin of many flowers, plants and trees that grow in Southern California today, Sowd says.
  ...
  Gardens in the Ming era were looked on as three-dimensional paintings, Sowd says.

  "They really brought the life to this garden and captured the authentic spirit of the buildings and the sense of traditional craftsmanship," said Laurie Sowd, the Huntington's project manager, who visited China six times during the 10-year run-up to the project.
  
  "They prefabricated almost all the materials in China, baked the clay roof tiles, did the wood and stone carvings, then shipped them and came here to assemble them," Sowd said.

  "It's going to be a very effective tool for us," said Laurie Sowd, associate vice president for operations for the Huntington.
  
  The system will help the Huntington keep written materials up to date and available to everyone who needs them, she said.
  
  The institution regularly has evacuation drills and earthquake simulations, she said.
  
  "We long had a very thoughtful and thorough emergency response plan in place here through years of regular meetings with staff," she said."Prepared Response offers us a Web-based software system that enables us to more easily update and keep current those materials."
  
  The first priority is keeping the staff and thousands of daily guests safe in an emergency, Sowd said.
  
  But a lot of work is also required to keep The Huntington's collections safe, Sowd said.
