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...

Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so lush for being so young. I love the big circular arbor at the top of the stairs. I must have missed the post about it's installation??. Worthy of a post to me. I can't wait to see what you plant on it. Here's to another great gardening year.
ReplyDeleteI also love looking back and seeing how the garden has evolved. The front border picture is a favorite of my, and I remember it from when you originally posted it; a spectacular moment in time when everything was just perfect!
