Portland Study Weekend Gardens - West Linn, Clackamas & Oregon City pt. 1
Last Saturday, I saw the six gardens featured on the HPSO Study Weekend tour. These gardens were in the southern part of Portland. I was excited to see Sherry Sheng's garden. She has visited our garden in the past, and I got to know her better when we were on the England trip together. Her garden was a delight with something fabulous at every turn. Next, the Connall garden which has a Mediterranean, drought-resistant planting scheme. The Harry Landers garden was packed with colorful flowers and a koi pond - Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
This has been a perfect spring for hydrangeas. Yours look beautiful. That blue just shines in the shade. I can't wait to see how long the blooms last too. I hope Mother Nature cooperates and doesn't send a drought.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Mine have been nice this year too. Very dry srping, but as long as I keep my hydrangea watered, it looks awesome' LOTS of flowers, more than ever before :)
ReplyDeleteNot only are your hydrangeas beautiful, so is your garden. Love the dry stream bed.
ReplyDeleteI don't often visit here and, by chance, I think the first time I came across your blog, you were talking about hydrangeas.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a hydrangea fan but these look lovely. Shows how important context is.

Everyone this year has been exclaiming how great the hydrangeas are which makes me wish I had added more sooner to the garden. I've been afraid of deer and rabbits in the best hydrangea areas. Your garden and the hydrangeas look great!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Phillip. Your hydrangeas look lovely in the woodland setting. Those huge white blooms really make a statement.

They are indeed very beautiful this year!
ReplyDeleteJust exquisite! The combinations of the hydrangeas with the garden ornaments couldn't be better!
