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...

Bird houses and snow look particularly good together.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the variegated climber - or shrub in the last photo?
Chavli
That is Asian Jasmine 'Ogon Nishiki'
DeleteGardens blanketed in snow always look magical to me but then it's something I've seldom seen in person. Coastal Southern California is lucky just to get a bit of rain.
ReplyDeleteSnow looks good in your garden. Let's face it. Anything and anyone would look good in your garden. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and I'm glad not as harsh as last year's ice storm!
ReplyDeleteIt appears you didn't have any damage from the snow. Your garden looks beautiful dressed in white.
