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...

Ice is always the worst winter condition to deal with. It is good that you got out there and did what you could do to hopefully prevent disaster.
ReplyDeleteMay it survive and prosper!
ReplyDeleteIce is the worst. I'm sure it's much better to look out and see it safely tied up than being splayed out on the ground. I hope you're in full melt now!
ReplyDeleteLovely, elegant shrub. Best of luck getting it through this tough winter.
