Elk Rock Garden of the Bishop's Close
Written By Morgan Stone Grether
Tucked the middle of one of the wealthiest sections of Portland, Oregon, with some spectacular views of the Willamette River, sits a lovely Episcopal retreat known as the Elk Rock Garden of the Bishop's Close. There are many interesting plants there, and perhaps the loveliest part is a small grove of Arbutus menziesii, or Pacific Madrone, trees.
