In November 2018 I returned once again to the Leach Botanical Garden, a hidden oasis of more than 15 acres in the rows of residential grid deep in east Portland. If you’re in the area, you must stop by to see the 2000 or so varieties of plants and the gorgeous, serene location.
Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
There are so many interesting plants there, and the whole estate (of about 17 acres) is serene and gorgeous...
Exciting blooms and berries from a seemingly endless array of plants...
Not only was it pouring rain in the dead of winter, but more importantly about two thirds of the place were closed for a massive renovation project…
One of East Portland’s best spots without a doubt is Leach Botanical Garden. Full of ever-changing greenery, particularly from across the Pacific Northwest, you can find it on SE Claybourne Street, just a little off SE Foster Road and north of Mount Scott.
16+ acres of lush forest and flowering plants from around the Northwest, and you will get a very different experience depending on what time of year you visit.
