This is the last of my Oregon Garden collection. The Gaillardia above turned out to be one of my favorites. They are so bold and bright. It was definitely a blessing having the early morning rain.



This is the view of the main lawn from the Axis Fountain. They have quite a variety of gardens from Conifers and wetlands to a pet friendly and children’s garden.

The Day Lilies were abundant.


There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

My favorite was the Bosque Reflecting Ponds, a central plaza featuring four brick ponds and 40 planter boxes, each planted with a single tree.

The Signature Oak is an Oregon Heritage Tree that is more than 400 years old.

June was fortunately a perfect time to appreciate the bounty of color.



If you live in the Pacific Northwest and need to get away for a few days, I can easily recommend the Silverton area. The Oregon Garden Resort is a very nice place and they have frequent deals through Travel Zoo. They show movies in the Garden during the summer, in October scarecrows are displayed throughout.


And Silverton is a Happening Place with loads of activities planned throughout the year: A Bloom Quilt Show, Brewer’s Tasting Dinner at the Resort, Fireworks on the 4th of July, and a Car Show in August. Silver Falls State Park with the trail of ten falls is just a short drive. Here is a photo of Winter Falls (check out my earlier post: All Creation Sings His Praises).

So, just maybe I will see you there someday.
