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 -

Sherry's garden was so much fun. I enjoyed all the colorful elements she integrated into the landscape. I can tell she really enjoys being out in her garden. The Connal's garden was amazing in its own right. I really like their use of repeating patterns and colors to cohesively bring everything together. Not only that, but their gravel areas near the house were so pristine!
