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...

Oh the fun of opening plant packages. Enjoy the decisions of where to plant!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of gardener. Just buy what catches your eye and THEN find a place for them. :) Have fun. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to order from them for such a long time, but I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes buying bulbs. I overthink them!
ReplyDeleteSpring planting is so much fun. I'm waiting for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens plant sale next weekend to buy most of my plants.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a package from Bluestone this week, can't wait. I buy most of my bulbs from B&B. I have the canna I could have given you a piece. Mary
