Portland Study Weekend Gardens - West Linn, Clackamas & Oregon City pt. 1
Last Saturday, I saw the six gardens featured on the HPSO Study Weekend tour. These gardens were in the southern part of Portland. I was excited to see Sherry Sheng's garden. She has visited our garden in the past, and I got to know her better when we were on the England trip together. Her garden was a delight with something fabulous at every turn. Next, the Connall garden which has a Mediterranean, drought-resistant planting scheme. The Harry Landers garden was packed with colorful flowers and a koi pond - Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the Dahlias! Another favorite is the white lily (last photo).
Have a wonderful day!
The lily was a surprise! Do they usually bloom this late in the season up your way? I adore Caryopteris and wish I could grow it here. (I've tried.) The combination of the coleus and hydrangea is unexpected and very attractive.
ReplyDeleteThat lily was a surprise. It is in a pot and I guess it was planted late.
DeleteI always enjoy my monthly visits to your garden. So much variety and color. Happy (belated) Bloom Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorothy!
DeleteYour 'Dynamite' is dynamite. It looks wonderful. Mine are extremely drought stressed.
ReplyDeleteThe Caryopteris and Abelia are so happy and healthy looking. Your whole garden must be magic.
Hoover, we do a ton of watering!
