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...

  1. Beautiful! My baby of an oak leaf hydrangea has just leaved out, and is probably still too small to expect flowers from it this year. Also, the deer like to nibble on it occasionally.

  2. Love them! I love how mature your garden is. Can't wait til mine gets like that. Have a great rest of your week!

  5. Swoon! I dearly love oakleaf hydrangea, but too little shade to have one.

  6. Wow. We just returned home from vacationing in AZ. Our garden looks so lush compared to out there. Our Oakleaf Hydrangea is blooming up a storm too.
