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...

ReplyDeleteAugust is looking great in your neighborhood, Phillip!
ReplyDeleteWe're still house hunting so I live vicariously through photos of your garden. Since we arrived June 3 just after your June 1st garden tour, is there any chance you'll be doing a late summer tour?
ReplyDeleteArdith, I haven't planned any upcoming but you can come any time. Just drop me an e-mail (my address is on the contact page). Thanks!
DeleteOh, WOW! Wonderful garden, it is really exceptional. The picture with the heathers and the snapdragon has me speechless.
