The Pure Land Foundation sponsored the award-winning, Fernando Gonzalez-designed Pure Land Foundation Garden at the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show. Bruno Wang believes gardens reconnect us with nature and that nature reconnects us with spirituality, helping us to remember who we are and better understand our place in the world. The organic shape of the Pure Land Foundation Garden’s landscape was inspired by nature's rhythm and aimed to evoke Chinese scholars' rocks. The soothing garden was an urban oasis designed for contemplation and meditation. Fernando Gonzalez’s extraordinary yet effortless creation, using innovative design and the latest fabrication methods, created a sense of wellbeing and positive energy that provided a breath of fresh air to the show.

In 2014, he sponsored Masterpieces of Chinese Painting 700-1900, the largest and most important exhibition of Chinese painting in the UK since 1960. The exhibition brought together the finest examples of Chinese painting from the beginning of the 8th century to the end of the 19th century. Many of the works had never before been seen in the UK.
