Hosta lover traveling to Portland Oregon

12 years ago

I'm doing a little research about where we should sight see and found information on "Quinn Mountain HOSTA gardens" - Is this worth going to see? Are there any other hosta or shade gardens I should see?

Thank you, Beverly

To be honest, Portland is not my expertise. I know of several great conifer nurseries there but they are not specifically 'gardens' for visiting, but rather involved in wholesale and plant production/creation.

There are CERTAINLY dozens/hundreds of wonderful gardens in the area though, you just need to do some research to find out which accept visitors. I can't help much I'm afraid.

Thank you for your replies. Of course I have quite a few gardens in Portland to visit, the Rose Garden, Japanese, Chinese and a couple of botanical gardens... I just didn't see in all my research anyone that focussed on shade or hosta. I hate to miss anything.

Definately visit Terra Nova and Dan Heims' garden. He has stuff you'll never see anywhere else.

Also, visit Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery in Talent, Oregon. Never been there...but it looks outstsanding in the photos. I've ordered from them before...nice stuff.

Great Suggestions. Sebrights was on my radar screen but I thought it was off the beaten path. Terra Nova I had overlooked all together. I mapped them out and they make a nice day trip from Portland, under 3 hours driving time both ways if you believe google. I had not heard of Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery before and will have to research that some more.

Thanks again,
Beverly

Bev,

While you're in Portland, you may want to check out Farmington Gardens...a garden center right in town...and the only place in the U.S. to buy Lysichiton camtschatcense 'Crocodile Tears', if you have a bog garden.
