The Teahouse and Garden

Introduction:

The Teahouse Project was joined by a little over 40 people; some were students from Cornell, others were from the Ithaca community. They were responsible for the collection of materials from the wild, the fabrication of the sapling frame, the woven mat walls, the entry garden, and all other parts of the construction project other than the inner deck.
