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...

ReplyDeleteHe's doesn't have a care in the world. Animals are so entertaining. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe has the perfect spot to catch a bird(-: He is just pretending to be sleeping...
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable pictures. I just love having cats in the garden. We have our orange cat and the neighbor's black cat sleeping in our back garden all the time. Their calm, peaceful nature lends a zen-like atmosphere to that area.
