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...

Jack Frost and Mother Nature sure create some beautiful work together!

ReplyDeleteThe colors, leaf patterns, the frost...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt appears that Jack Frost ran his paint brush all around those outer edges. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot Phillip! And to make it to December 8 is quite an accomplishment. What zone are you in?
