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...

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic spot for a relaxing vacation! I was feeling quite relaxed just looking at your gorgeous photographs on Saturday morning even without the soft sand and the warm temperatures.
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteFlorida is a really big state, but do you ever get down there in Jan thru Mar? We spend those months in central Florida and would love to visit if you are anywhere nearby - like I said, I know it is a huge state, but...
Best to you,
Shenandoah
