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...

That was truly the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for all the sharing. Your roses are splendid, but of course that doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDelete3 weeks! I didn't realize you were there that long, how fantastic! How lucky you were to get rain and come home to all that gorgeousness. I can't pick a favorite rose, they are all lovely -hmm, but I am drawn to 'Lady of Shallot'. Welcome home. :)
ReplyDelete'Lady of Shallot' is one of my all-time favorites.
DeleteI love the care you take in selecting some really great roses, and then you grow them so wonderfully. Really superb!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures.
ReplyDeleteI love the roses - and the IG posts you shared of your trip! I look forward to seeing more on your Cornwall tour in future blog posts.
ReplyDeleteA feast for the eyes!
ReplyDelete3 weeks in Cornwall--wow must have been awesome. Skipped Chelsea?
ReplyDeleteI expected a rosy treat by the title, and was not disappointed. The roses welcomed you home--how great is that?
I didn't skip Chelsea. It was the grand finale to the trip.
