Where gardening is the way of believing in tomorrow.....
Welcome to Beech Street Gardens
Beech Street Gardens is located in a USDA zone 8b, at an elevation of 253 ft./ latitude 45.54983/ longitude 122.603747 in NE Portland, Oregon which is located in the Willamette Valley of the Great Pacific Northwest. My partner Will and I purchased our 1,100 sq. ft. bungalow home that the gardens are based around in the summer of 1990. When the gardens first started there was lawn (2 1/2+ hours of edging and mowing) and a couple of flower beds. Today there is a very small lawn (15 mins. top to edge and mow) and small minor gardens within three major gardens consisting of trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs. These gardens are based on drought tolerant plants, very close to a Mediterranean style. Plants receive most of their water during the fall, winter, spring months from the rains and with very little help from me during the summer.
Certified Backyard Habitat
Beech Street Gardens is an organic garden and certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation

Nice! My Lewisia are just setting there doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteThere is a purple Lilac in the park at the end of our street. I noticed it was in full bloom yesterday, where as the day before I swear there weren't even buds!
That peony is just lovely! I'm so jealous of people with room for Lilacs...they are pretty much my favorite smell ever!
