Southeast Portland Mini-Tour
A recent HPSO Mini-Tour included four gardens in the Southeast Portland area. First, Christine Weaver's garden with winding pathways was full of perennials, vines, carnivorous plants and cacti - Next up is Jeanne DeBenedetti Keyes' naturalistic, waterwise garden with a collection of native plants. The back garden is a lush, Chinese-influenced, walled garden - The third garden was Renee Moog's enchanting and whimsical 1/3 acre garden with beautiful plantings enhanced with garden art, including glass bottle walls and floors, and a fantastic water feature - And finally, the Happy Valley garden of Jennifer Buss emphasizes four-season interest, low-maintenance plantings, and some bonsai specimens (unfortunately my phone battery was depleted and I didn't get many photos) - (Visited August 17, 2025) Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
