Mermaid Ranch
The owner of this home is a busy mother of two synchronized swimming mermaids and has worked to create a low maintenance oasis with room for pets, bikes, art projects, pool parties and outdoor dining. Roses, veggies, colorful pots and hearty annuals provide colorful views from every angle.
Farmhouse Dream
This garden is a 28 year old cottage garden on a double lot in the Woodstock neighborhood. Features include raised vegetable gardens, a garden play house, plenty of sun loving perennials and mature shade trees. The owners enjoy the garden from the backyard pergola and patio, a fire pit area and the expansive wrap around porch.
The Entertainer
This homeowner has brought her love for design, creativity and her obsession with DIY projects to her outdoor spaces. The herringbone pergola, encaustic tile stair risers, 1920s upcycled windows and screen doors are among her favorites. See hostas, hydrangeas, peonies, and clematis.
A Gardener’s Delight
This English style garden has been owned by the same family since 1948. The backyard is a system of five plus paver pathways, wrought iron fencing, brick patios with brick benches & planters, evergreen bushes & trees interspersed with hundreds of pots and hanging baskets. Roses feature heavily in this well loved garden.
Fuchsia Perfect
The owner of this garden is the Vice-President of the Oregon Fuchsia Society and talks and writes widely on the plants and their history. Starting last August, the garden has been undergoing a complete transformation. The ultimate goal is to showcase a large collection of fuchsias and quite a few other plants.
A Modern Wonder
This newly remodeled yard is full of inventive hardscaping and architectural details. It serves as the play space and entertaining area for this busy young family. They enjoy dinners outside and sitting around the fire pit on a summer’s evening.
A Tranquil Paradise
This garden has been tended by the owners for the past 27 years, and by the all previous green thumbed residents since the house was built in 1906. Continually evolving, it’s a lush secret double lot featuring koi and frog ponds, a bamboo island, medicinal herbs and a garden statuary. .
