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...

Gorgeous! My Ginkgo looks sad by comparison.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular colors! The sourwood, black tupelo and sumac are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSourwood makes an un matched display with leaf and berry mix. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip! Love that sumac. Do you keep it in a container or the ground? How likely is it to really run sideways?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, as always.
Jules, both. The original one is in the ground. Since then, two have been potted up from runners. It does do that but I would not say vigorously. Just a few every year. Of course you have to keep an eye on it.
DeleteOh I would surely swoon to see your gorgeous garden in the fall! So many colors, it makes me giddy just to see photos.
