Fall Gardening Festivities
Le Tour des Plants is really an incredible opportunity for gardeners and would-be gardeners to find new plants, ask the experts, and get some good deals on plants and garden accessories. Pick any day from Saturday, the 12th, through Sunday, the 20th, to go exploring nurseries from SW Washington to Corvallis.
Thirty-one retail nurseries are participating to show off gardening – many offering special pricing for fall planting. They are also holding a really astonishing array of classes – rain gardens, green walls, worm composting, dividing peonies, growing kiwis, pruning hydrangeas, and much, much more.
How about expert-guided tours of places you always wanted to see or never knew were there?
Did you know there’s an olive grove producing olive oil right here in Oregon? Red Ridge Farm will show you how it’s done.
Our own J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. has one of the largest collections of deciduous tree cultivars in North America – open to the public for only the second time ever. Trying to choose a tree for your home? See what it will look like 5 or 10 years from now.
There will be daily tours of the largest fuchsia display/test garden in the US at Monnier’s Country Gardens.
Check out all the tours on the Le Tour website.
There will be entertainment and food to sample at nurseries along with the plants. Opportunities to get design help and planting information. And surely someone has just the plant or pot you were looking for at a great price.
Pick up your Le Tour passport at local nurseries or check out all the activities online. Fall is a great time to garden and Le Tour makes it fun!
