Field Trip to The Oregon Gardens

The Oregon Gardens is located in Silverton about 2 hours northeast of Cottage Grove. If you haven’t been before, you need to see this garden!!! If you have been before we’re sure you will want to join our enthusiastic plant-and-garden-loving group for another view!

Groundbreaking for the 80-acre garden was 14 years ago and the ambitious master plan is now well underway with many of the 20 themed gardens maturing into masterpieces. The Northwest Gardens was one of the first completed gardens and is an excellent place for ideas for your own Northwest landscape. The Conifer Garden is characterized by large charismatic conifer species and boasts one of the largest collections of dwarf and miniature conifers in the United States: it is stunning! The A-Mazing Water Garden is an award-winning garden that beautifully incorporates a circular water garden with an ornate bridge, criss-crossing paths, and a cascading waterfall.

On Wednesday, April 20, we will carpool to The Gardens arriving at 10am, board the trolley for an hour tour, meet with the Oregon Garden Chairman, Marcia Kay Whitelock, have BYO picnic lunch in the gardens and tour independently in the afternoon. An optional tour to the Gordon House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright House in Oregon, is also available.
Please come to the April 1 Cottage Grove Garden Club meeting to learn more about this all-day field trip. Or call Julie 541 510-1165. And visit TOG website: www.oregongarden.org
