Coming up . . .

It's Founders Days at Fred Meyer and we're going to be broadcasting from the Garden Center at the Tigard Fred Meyer (11565 SW Pacific Hwy). It's going to be a gorgeous weekend out in the yard. So, stop by, say "hello" and then get gardening!


The Master Gardeners are back – in Multnomah County

So, bring your baffling bugs, problem plants, and curious questions.

After several years without one, the Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardeners™ have secured an office in Multnomah County to help gardeners identify the source of garden dilemmas and to provide solid, research-proven advice to resolve them. (Thanks to the West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District‎.)

Monday to Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Give the trained volunteers a call at 503-445-4608
Take a sample to Montgomery Park, room 453, 2701 NW Vaughn St.


Help the Portland Classical Chinese Garden celebrate the peony, China’s unofficial national flower.

From May 16th to the 21st, the Garden will host a Peony Showcase and give visitors the opportunity to learn more about this much-loved garden perennial from the folks at Adelman Peony Garden. A percentage of your peony purchase will support the Garden’s horticultural program.

On Sunday. May 17th, at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm the Garden’s staff will lead a Garden Peony Tour.


On Saturday, May 16, 2009, while you’re enjoying spring in the Portland Japanese Garden, you can see a demonstration of a Japanese tea ceremony at 1pm and 2pm, prepared by Kashintei Kai.


On Saturday, May 16th from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, check out Leach Botanical Garden’s Children’s Nature Fair (6704 SE 122 Ave.) to explore the garden, meet local environmental groups, and celebrate spring with hands-on activities and crafts! Suggested donation: $2 per child.
