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...

ReplyDeleteThe so called landscaper I hired a few years back moved mine from the corner of the house to close to the front door. It has had pitiful blooms every since. I hoped the pouting was over with this year, but it's not. I'm not sure what I need to do to bring it back to its former beauty. Mary

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love peonies..have several that are swelling with buds now. Just planted some Itoh peonies and am awaiting their debut. Stunning photo. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh that is lovely! I have a similar colored one that is a single. It is blooming and so pretty right now. I bet yours is gorgeous when the whole bunch is blooming.
