More South Portland Study Weekend Gardens, pt. 2
The last three gardens on last Saturday's tour included a large shade garden, a tropical oasis and an Asian-inspired retreat. First, the Hilderbrand garden in Oregon City. This garden is set in a grove of Douglas Fir trees and has paved pathways that meander through plantings of dogwoods, hydrangeas, viburnums, kalmias and other shade-loving plants. The garden of Michael Hicks and Megan Big John is a quarter-acre plot in West Linn. This garden is packed with plantings of tropical plants with big beautiful leaves and vibrant pops of color. Helena Wagner's "4 Seasons Garden" is a garden that I have visited in the past. It features an Asian-inspired theme with beautifully placed plants, with nice colors and contrasts.

Oooh so cute.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cats. They look quite content.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the left cat looks a little bothered by the right one, no?
ReplyDeleteReally good picture though.
I like the idea below of making your own soap for the laundry. Now, if I can only get my ass off the wagon and try it too.
Nice shot! They sure do look like they are enjoying the good life!
ReplyDeletePrecious! Your tabby looks like my Lily.
ReplyDeleteGot to try your laundry recipe.All the ingredients are readily available in my grocery store. I use Fells Naptha (a solution of) for garden pests.
How adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat's not very wordless! Nice kitty, kitty. Got four myself. Ten if you count the kittens. They need homes. Want one! Prissy is getting fixed! She's a floosy!
