In November 2018 Daniel Sloan and I visited the Oregon Garden, an 80-acre botanical garden in Silverton, Oregon. Each season there gives a new experience, but autumn is hard to beat. Their website has a handy list of all things blooming each month; here is November’s.
Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
Twice in October 2017, I visited fabulous Silver Falls State Park, just south of Silverton, Oregon. Here is the second set of two. (See the first.) I was amazed how much the tree colors had changed in just a few weeks. Ah, autumn!
About 80 acres, separated out into different sections like “wetlands” and “conifers” and so on. A lot to take it…
Smack in the middle of the delightful town of Silverton sits the Oregon Garden. It’s about 80 acres of beautiful trees and flowers of more varieties than I can count…
Not the kind of overly manicured botanical garden that takes itself too seriously…
Even though it was in the heat of summertime, we still saw many animals in this botanical garden, including a few very happy and loud frogs.
