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

Coldwater Nursery Open House - May 4-5



If you haven't been to Coldwater Nursery yet then this weekend would be a good time to go. I was very impressed with their stunning displays of plants, hanging baskets and window boxes. They have a nice selection of shrubs and trees in the outside garden center and the greenhouse is full of colorful annuals. You can tell that the plants are well cared for and I've had good luck with everything I've bought from them in the past.

 Here are the details about their Open House this weekend:

 Location: 1001 Koonce St. (Behind Dale's Restaurant)
When: Saturday, May 4 from 8 - 6 pm
Sunday, May 5 from 1 - 5pm

Door prizes - Hamburgers & Hot Dogs (Sat. only) - Specials - Door Prizes

    Not over-struck on bright colours but I love the smell of geranium leaves.
