Garden tours are a great way to get ideas for your own space or just enjoy time in a garden you didn’t have to weed yourself. Here are two of interest:
The Berry Botanic Garden is sponsoring a tour of Bella Madrona – an Northwest treasure. This five-acre landscape is chock full of whimsical and sophisticated artistic flourishes. From the structure and texture of exotic perennial beds to the woodsy atmosphere of the native groves, its magical air is the result of 25 years of green thumb perspiration and inspiration. You'll have a delightful time exploring its nooks and crannies while enjoying wine and refreshments. Rain or shine, Bella Madrona shows a gracious face in spring. Sunday, June 21st from 2 pm – 4 pm. Tickets are $25 and registration is limited. 503.636.4112
A week later you’ll have another chance to see Bella Madrona on the 4th annual Seeding our Future Garden Tour. It will take place on Saturday, June 27th from 10 am - 4 pm. In addition to Bella Madrona you can take in five other fabulous, private gardens in Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood, each one a unique blend of beauty and passion. Bask in a sun-filled Southern charmer, a designated western bluebird habitat. Daydream in a lushly planted, woodland wonderland. Be dazzled by fragrance and flowers. Listen to waterfalls and bird song.
Draw inspiration and knowledge from garden hosts, tour volunteers, special guest Kym Pokorny, garden writer for The Oregonian, and Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener volunteers. Rain or shine. The tour benefits the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased on-line or at selected local nurseries.
And if you need more formal help in your garden, this Saturday, May 23rd at 1 pm, Garden Fever! will be hosting “Elements of Garden Design” with Gary Fear of Garden Solutions.
The lecture is free but reservations should be made at 503-287-3200.
