| On a whim, the BILs and I decided to visit the Oregon Garden in Silverton, about an hour SE of Portland. We had all heard of it, but I understood it to be a small display garden attached to a resort hotel.We were blown away when we arrived, this is a full scale botanical garden, 80 acres, with expansions taking place as we speak. Definitely a must-see if we decide to do a PNW IU in the future.
This garden has one of the most impressive conifer collections I've ever seen, and they are in the process of doubling it's size.
Enjoy !

| Beautiful, Kathy - it reminds me of the Mendecino Botanic Garden we saw (as a more mature stage). I love that decorative wavy ironwork - such a simple concept but so neat looking in its execution. Can't wait to see more photos! -cindy |

| Oh Wow Kathy, talk about serendipity! Is that sort of crawling conifer a Cobra? I saw one for the first time yesterday.... There are days when I wish I had more space! Or made better use of what I have. I love your photo shoots! Cheers, Julie |

| The pergola and wavy ironwork caught my eye the most - any wines on either of those? It certainly looks like a place well worth visiting! |

| I love the way so many conifers look as though they could just come alive and walk around on their own. Wonderful pics, Kathy! |

| Love your comment, Cyn - these conifers indeed look like they could start walking any time -- hmmm, maybe we've been watching too many movies - it reminds me of the Forest in Lord of the Rings movies!! |
