In western Oregon April begins the Open Garden season. On Sunday my sister and I visited two woodland gardens in southwest Eugene.
The first garden was a small delight.
The house and property are sited on a slope. Many folks would think that might preclude gardening. Not so!
This couple has lovingly created a little gem.
They even have a small alpine / rock garden.
I think spring must be an especially pretty time in this garden.
There are lots of native plants, ferns and rhododendrons.
The second garden is also located on a sloping hillside, but is much larger - over an acre in scope.
They even have a seasonal creek that wanders through the garden.
Once again, this is a garden that celebrates native plants.
Camas, Fawn Lilies, and Currants.
As a woodland garden, it is the perfect setting for a collection of rhododendrons.
The blue Camas in the foreground sets off the bright yellow Azalea behind.
What a treat on a sunny April Sunday.
Two super gardens. I'm so glad the owners decided to share them with others.
Good morning, Beth! Oh what beautiful gardens! I think the small one is really cute because that's more the size of ours (though mine doesn't look this good!).
