Study Weekend Garden Tours - Southeast & North Portland - pt. 1

Despite all the work and hoopla of preparing for our open garden on Monday, I did manage to steal away on Friday and Saturday to visit the gardens in Portland. There were six gardens on Friday, located in the Southeast and North Portland neighborhoods.  Beginning with the first three - Jenn Ferrante garden - Cool and calming, an oasis of serenity with pinks and blues and touches of chartreuse. And a majestic weeping beech. Peter Eastman and Dayrol Griffin garden - another colorful oasis with many tropical touches and a well-executed street border planting. Anne Davis & Miles McCoy garden - This small garden packs quite a punch with borders, potted plants and artistic touches. Check out that pathway! More to come...

    Happy New Year to you as well. We're watching the rose parade. Amazing flowers and floats. Later we'll be eating steak and taters. I might work a nap in there somewhere. Have a great day! See in the dirt during 2009

    Happy New Year to you, Phillip. I can tell you're a true gardener because you asked for rain as one of your new year wishes :-)
