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...

It's an impressive garden for a hotel - and that's probably the best koi pond I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! How lovely to have a garden right there at the hotel to walk around. It looks like the weather was nice, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, we were lucky with the weather. It rained the night I arrived and the day I left. In between, 60s and 70s.
DeleteWhat a lovely garden, and truly beautiful at night, Phillip!
