This June Elaine and I visited the Oregon Garden, the 80-acre botanical garden in Silverton, Oregon. There are so many interesting plants from across the pacific northwest. I love all the sights, sounds, and smells there.

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.

Not the kind of overly manicured botanical garden that takes itself too seriously…

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…

About 80 acres, separated out into different sections like “wetlands” and “conifers” and so on. A lot to take it…
