Open Gardens: Nancy Goldman and Deborah Myers

Two great gardens in Portland on the Open Gardens Tour this week - Nancy Goldman and just two houses down, Deborah Myers. Myers' garden was not listed in the directory and for a while, my friend Rebecca and I thought that we were in Nancy's garden until a fellow visitor cleared it up for us. Good thing as we would probably not have ventured down to Nancy's garden had we not known this. Anyway, two great gardens on one visit. 

First, the garden of Deborah Myers -
















Now, on to Nancy Goldman's garden.

Beautiful gardens!! Thank you for sharing, Phillip.
I love these kinds of gardens where you feel enveloped by plants. All the "things" in the garden make it fun too. I love the mosaic rugs in the last garden. I wish I had patience and the know how to make one.

Wow! Love these gardens, especially the pebble mosaics. The sense of enclosure and being surrounded by cool plants and awesome garden art makes me smile! Thanks for sharing these!

Deborah Myers has an incredible sense of plant combinations and her bamboo grove is gorgeous. Nancy Goldman's garden is full of whimsy and creativity. I love the mosaic pebble rug. Visitors who wouldn't wipe their shoes on the rug, had to take them off; hence the collection of planted-shoe rack.

I first discovered these gardens on a walk, then later was able to visit them during an HPSO Open Garden. Such fun! I'm sorry to have missed them this year.

Sophisticated and elegant.
Textures and dark greens seem to be the themes.
