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...

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou were MUCH more restrained than I was with my own year-end review, Phillip! Your garden is luscious every month of the year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris!
DeleteIt must be a challenge to pick just one photo for each month; I know how lush and exuberant your garden is... I love the one from July: The gravel garden in front of the pergola, and always enjoy seeing Wolf-Eyes Dogwood, the Azara and Chief Josef. You have some magnificent trees.
