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...

Congratulations on the article, Phillip! I like the vegetable garden with the rosemary and brick edging around the corn... guess those are chives flowering? It looks like a good place to spend time.

Thanks Wayne!
ReplyDeleteYolanda, thanks for visiting - please come again.
Gail, my full time job is librarian. Writing about and photographing gardens is a new venture, just something to do on the side. Maybe I can retire early and have this to fall back on. It is sure more fun than my full time work.
Thanks Annie!
