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
Wow, so many gorgeous colors. I'm thrilled your Feijoa made it through that awful ice storm! The pine and the deodar are breathtaking, as is the Fatshedera.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see all that healthy foliage! I love the 'Chief Joseph' pine. I hope you get more sunny skies before the week is over.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many choice shrubs besides the roses and the other wonderful plants you grow. I always thought it was--unexpected that a Fatsia could cross with an Ivy. Interesting Eucalypt, beautiful pine, gorgeous deodar, love that Euonymous. Tried to grow it--could not give it enough water.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunshine!
How lovely to have so much greenery in the winter! We’re currently blanketed in snow.
DeleteI always enjoy your garden updates and the descriptions of each plant.
