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. There is a lot of this rust in my garden right now. Someone turned off the rain.

  3. The leaves still look good. I know people elsewhere are going to hate me for saying this but I bet all your garden looks good because of the rain this year.

    It came a shower earlier today here and is thundering again now!

  4. David, this is wettest summer I can remember, but I'm not complaining.

  5. That is so beautiful...like warm, glowing embers!

  6. I, too, think they still look lovely this way, though it is perhaps a bit too early for such fall-like colors.

  7. I must have this hydrangea, Phillip! What is it? And does it do well in dappled shade?
