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

Tokyo at Night



Tokyo at night was one of my favorite experiences. Sleek, cutting edge architecture and magical lights, it was like being in a Christmas-decorated town.  I'm sure this was the largest city I've ever been in and I was overwhelmed by it all.

We arrived in Tokyo but left on the first day of the tour for Kyoto. We then returned to Tokyo about a week later and spent the remainder of our time there.

Our hotel was in the Ginza district, a very high-end affair with expensive stores and restaurants (but easy to find affordable places mixed among them).
