In it you will find over 100 listings for a wealth of wonderful gardens and nurseries to visit all season. Many gardens will be open on the weekends, and evening openings are on the second and fourth Mondays of June, July, August and September. The Directory has been prepared by a dedicated committee led by Chair Tom Barreto and including Jolly Butler, Robert Herald, Cori Bacher and Kate Bryant. Tom is also much appreciated for his beautiful photography which graces the cover each year. Special thanks to Linda Wisner for cover design, advice and production direction. We would like to thank HPSO staff members Cheryl Kleinsmith and Lisa Fuller for their assistance. And thank you to Bruce Wakefield for his help with a process that is always time-consuming; we are very grateful. We have worked hard to assure the accuracy of the listings in the 2015 Open Gardens Directory, but if you find an error or omission, please contact the HPSO office at 503-224-5718. Corrections will be announced in the HPSO weekly email blasts. As always, deepest thanks to the generous and welcoming HPSO members who are opening their gardens this year. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from, and enjoy, your remarkable gardens. 1 VISITOR GUIDELINES TO GOOD GARDEN ETIQUETTE We are fortunate to be able to visit so many glorious gardens through our HPSO membership. And, since we want to keep getting invited back, here are a few reminders about how to be the very best garden visitor ever. 1. Ask the garden owner before taking photos. Almost everyone will say yes. Ask separately about the use of tripods. 2. Stay on footpaths, stairways and bridges. This will ensure that you are not compromising beds, slopes, or waterways, and that you will keep your footing. 3. Leave plant tags in the ground or the pot where the plant is located. Ask your host to identify plants if you cannot read the tags in place. 4. If you do ask the name of a plant, make sure you have a notebook and pencil at the ready to record it. You may think you will remember, but you won’t; none of us remembers. 5. If there are other visitors during your tour, make sure everyone has access to the host to ask questions. 6. Refrain from removing any plants (even weeds) or parts of plants. 7. If the house is not open, please do not ask to use the bathroom/phone/internet unless it is a dire emergency. 8. Have a wonderful time. 2 GARDENS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Austin, Gail Huston, Ray and Reggie Austin Garden 25066 SE Dowty Rd 8445 SW 80th Ave Eagle Creek, OR 97022 Portland, OR 97223 503-630-2256 503-330-4154 http://rayhustondeezines.com Barca, Annette Lamb, Diana and Colby Hummingbird Hill The Lamb Garden PO BoX 334 1070 NW 91st Ave Greenbank, WA 98253 Portland, OR 97229 360-678-8328 503-297-1793 The Lamb Garden is just five Barreto, Tom minutes from the Barreto 485 NW Skyline Blvd Garden.

    The Chicago Tribune, January 22, 2016 Garden Conservancy salutes 25th anniversary with gorgeous book of gardens A new book, 'Outstanding American Gardens,' celebrates the Garden Conservancy and its Open Days program: Check out some of the magnificent private gardens. Teresa Woodard, Chicago Tribune When garden writer Page Dickey opened her private New York garden and coaxed 110 others to do tthe same for the Garden Conservancy's first Open Days event — which allows visitors access to some of the finest private gardens across the country — little did she know that 20 years later she would be editing "Outstanding American Gardens" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), a lavish volume showcasing many favorites among the 3,000 participating gardens. The book celebrates the garden preservation group's 25th anniversary and its Open Days program. "The whole idea of sharing a garden is magical," says Dickey, who co-founded Open Days in 1995 with gardening friend Penelope Maynard. "Being a gardener myself and working very hard on my garden to make it beautiful, there's something thrilling about sharing it — especially with like-minded people," says Dickey, whose Duck Hill garden in North Salem, N.Y. (which she has since sold) is featured amoong the collection and includes design elements adopted from her own tours of notable American gardens. "I've been a visitor for many, many years, and there is rarely a garden where you don't learn something," says Dickey. "By going around and seeing other gardens, it broadens your knowledge and vision." Susan Burke garden in Nantucket, Mass. Burke adopted an idea from fellow master gardener George Schoellkopf to dig a “ha‐ha,” or trench, beneath the porch to not obstruct the view of Nantucket harbor.

    ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY THREADING THE LABYRINTH: A NOVEL & GARDENS AND THE FANTASTIC: SPACE AND TIME IN THREADING THE LABYRINTH TIFFANI KAY ANGUS A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Ruskin University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Submitted: September 2015 Acknowledgements When I started my path of study over four years ago, I knew it would be difficult, but I didn’t know-know; now I know. What I didn’t expect was how much it would change me in positive ways. I couldn’t have done it without the support of friends and colleagues, to whom I can only offer my deep appreciation (pints will come later). Thank you must first go to my supervisors, Farah Mendlesohn and Una McCormack, without whom I would not have survived the journey from then to now. To Annette (Nettie) Oxindine, who gave me the idea in the first place to come study in the UK, and to Liz Hand who pushed me into Farah’s path. To Aga Jedrzejczyk-Drenda, who was here even before I was and welcomed me in. To Edward James, John and Judith Clute, and Val Nolan, who have been listening boards from the very beginning. To Heather Lindsley, my London CatHerders and my Milford crew: some of you saw first drafts, some later ones, but you got me going in the right direction and were always there with advice. To my family and the Pritchard clan, for always being only an email away. To Ian Dulieu, who was my rock during the final year and who reminded me not to take everything so seriously.

  • Open Gardens Visit Beautiful Gardens, Support Cornwall Hospice Care
    Open Gardens Visit beautiful gardens, support Cornwall Hospice Care Title sponsor www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk/opengardens 40 years ago Enid Dalton-White MBE, one of the pioneers who ensured the vision of a hospice for Cornwall, invited visitors to the grounds of her home in Polruan to raise vital funds to build Mount Edgcumbe Hospice. She set a trend that continues today through our Open Gardens scheme, now in its 9th year. A long-standing supporter of the charity and the Open Gardens campaign is Cornish gardener, George Kestell; As I look out of the office window across my own garden, I see the range of Hellebores, Camellias and Snowdrops all set off by the dark purple of the Pittosporum. These winter flowers keep me going through the tough times. Lately everyone has been affected by the Coronavirus crisis, lockdown has been difficult for many, but these winter gems have been a source of delight. Unfortunately, charities like Cornwall Hospice Care are struggling, beds are under threat due to the closure of shops and limited fundraising opportunities. However, this Cornish healthcare charity is to me like these winter flowers, there to help us through the tough times. Having received support from the hospice I know everyone involved in this charity does an amazing amount of work to help both patients and their families in the hospices and through community support. Hopefully within the next couple of months some sort of ‘normality’ can resume, the weather will be warmer and all the lovely gardens in this guide will be bursting with colour and with friends and families enjoying their delights.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER To begin with, may I wish everyone a very Happy New Year, and with lots of exciting garden trips in the offing I think we have a lot to look forward to. I think perhaps I should introduce myself.. I became a member of the EAGG two years ago, after spending many years in Garden Retail. I offered to come to a couple of committee meetings. Now we have the most amazing committee members, all expert at running the group, most of whom have been there for some years, and whose collective knowledge seems boundless, so I was struggling a little to see what I could bring to the table! After a lot of thought, I suggested that if it didn't look too pushy, as a newcomer, the job of chairman was actually something I could probably manage, and so, here I am! Here I must now give huge thanks to our retiring chairman, Oswald, for holding everything together so magnificently over the last year or so, and I am sure he will enjoy the rest, whilst hopefully giving me lots of helpful advice.
