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. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy

Rabbit Patch Daylily Garden going out of business

The owner of the Rabbit Patch Daylily Garden is retiring after this year. He is having a great sale on his remaining daylilies. 


Directions: From Cox Creek Parkway in Florence, take Chisholm North.  Turn right on County Road 28. He is on the right about a mile down the road. He has a sign out in front and also on Chisholm.  Phone # 256-764-1489.

  1. I am barely managing to keep the ones I have alive now. Are you getting any rain up there?

  2. Randy, we got a good rain last week and it rained today. It looks like you are getting some too?

  3. Rain, yes, maybe I can do some gardening besides watering. I plan to visit the Rabbit Patch Thurs or Friday depending on the rain. Like I need more daylilies. I still have bunches in pots that need to be put in the ground. Mary
