Open Gardens2017 THE HARDY PLANT SOCIETY OF OREGON OPEN GARDENS2017 gardeners growing together Clematis photo by Merle Dole-Reid INTRODUCTION 2017 Open Garden season is about to begin! Welcome to this year’s directory of approximately 100 listings covering a wide variety 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, assisted by Ruth Clark, Merle Dole-Reid, Jenn Ferrante, Barry Gates, Jim Rondone, Pam Skalicky, Lise Storc, and Bruce Wakefield. Tom is also much appreciated for his beautiful photography which graces the cover this year and to Merle Dole-Reid’s photograph on this page. Special thanks to Linda Wisner for cover design, advice and production direction, and a very big 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 2017 the 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. New this year, you can now open your garden more spontaneously if your garden looks fantastic that week by sending a message to Bruce at [email protected]. He will redirect you to an Open Garden Committee member who can help you with a garden description and get your notice out in the weekly email to the rest of HPSO. And most importantly, our deepest thanks to the generous and welcoming HPSO members who are sharing 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. 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 2017 OPEN GARDENS BOOK TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................... 1 Visitor Guidelines to Good Garden Etiquette ............ 2 Gardens Open by Appointment Only ......................... 4 Nurseries With Display Gardens ................................ 5 Picnic for Garden Hosts and HPSO Volunteers .......... 7 Open Gardens Calendar ............................................. 8 Garden and Nursery Descriptions ............................ 25 Public Gardens ......................................................... 86 Notes ........................................................................ 88 3 GARDENS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Barca, Annette Cavender, Richard & Karen Hummingbird Hill 15920 SW Oberst Lane 943 Chickadee Drive Sherwood, OR 97140 Greenbank, WA 98253 [email protected] [email protected] 503-625-6331 360-678-8328 Haynes, Blair Barreto, Tom Shinglehouse Nursery & Design 485 NW Skyline Blvd 63385 Shinglehouse Rd Portland, OR 97229 Coos Bay, OR 97420 [email protected] [email protected] 503-816-7015 541-999-2553 Borcherding, MaryAnn Waldemar, Martha 6012 NE 20th Court 13900 SE Renoir Ct Vancouver, WA 98665 Clackamas, OR 97015 [email protected] [email protected] 360-695-9126 503-698-2519 4 NURSERIES WITH DISPLAY GARDENS More information about nurseries with display gardens can be found in the Garden & Nursery Description section, listed under the owner's last name.

  • Portland Parks and Recreation
    Portland Parks and Recreation CBO has posted the online, interactive version of the bureau’s performance dashboard here: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/cbo/article/523266 The following questions were asked during the bureau’s budget work session. Responses are included in the attached packet. 1. Please provide a breakdown of scholarships by community center. 2. What facilities and parks would be closed if there were no increase in major maintenance funding? 3. Did the increase in the value of scholarships granted correspond to the number or participants in the program? Was there an increase in workload or did the cost of the programs go up? 4. List/plans of the following: Five-year major maintenance queue Five-year SDC funded projects Prior five-year SDC fund projects 5. Please provide descriptions and budget amounts for the two new requests: (1) parks rangers expansion and (2) tree code implementation PP&R Council Budget Questions – Follow up from March 17th Budget presentation: 1) Breakdown of scholarships by community center See Attached Scholarship PDF File 2) What facilities and parks would be closed if there were no increase in major maintenance funding? Rather than close whole facilities or parks when there is inadequate major maintenance funding we reduce levels of service (thin the soup) across the system and we also delay repairs and replacements, thus allowing the risk of failure to increase. Examples are the sewer back up at Sellwood, the sewer failure at Buckman Field House, the emergency culvert failures, etc. The one counter example that resulted a full closure and demolition was the wood play structure at Couch Park.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michelle Lee Talal for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science presented on May 7, 2019 Title: Exploring Urban Parks: Plant Communities, Visitor Experiences, and Manager Perspectives in Portland, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Mary V. Santelmann Urban parks are biodiversity hotspots within cities and have the potential to provide a range of socio-cultural benefits for people, but may not always meet the needs and desires of park visitors. A variety of land use practices and environmental factors affect urban park biodiversity and vegetation structure, composition, and ecological function, but more studies are needed to compare plant taxonomic composition, biodiversity patterns, and species traits across different types of urban green spaces. Additionally, there is a lack of research that explores park user experiences, vegetation perceptions, and accessibility issues in a range of urban park types interspersed throughout Portland using qualitative methods to observe and interview visitors on-site. More research is also needed that focuses on interviewing park managers about their perspectives on park benefits and management. The findings of my interdisciplinary dissertation may assist managers in their aims to achieve various ecological goals, as well as meet the needs and desires of park visitors within increasingly developed urban areas. The purpose of this research is three-fold, and includes examining: 1) The relationships between plant community composition, biodiversity patterns, environmental variables, and species traits in a range of urban parks in Portland, Oregon; 2) how the vegetation in these urban parks currently meets the needs and desires of visitors; and 3) how park managers currently manage vegetation in the parks to meet the needs and desires of visitors.

  • PP Annual Report Exec Summary V4.Indd
    2015–16 Dear Portlanders: Thank you for your recent commitment to repairing and improving Portland’s parks. In November 2014, you and an impressive 74 percent of Portlanders voted “Yes” for the Parks Replacement Bond Projects26 underway — the highest percentage ever for a Parks ballot measure. You became part of a long tradition of Portlanders who’ve built and maintained our city’s enviable collection of park facilities. In this fi rst full year of the Bond, from July 2015 to July 2016, we’ve laid the foundation for the work to be done. In this upcoming year, you’ll start to see tangible results in the parks. Replacement of the 70 to 90 year old mechanical systems at Grant Pool was the fi rst completed project, and next year, results will be visible across the city. Project1 completed About every nine years over the last century, Portlanders have invested in increasing, preserving and maintaining our park system by voting “yes” on parks bonds or levies. Before the 2014 bond, the last major bond was in 1994, meaning 20 years passed without signifi cant park improvements or address- ing dire repair needs. Portland Parks & Recreation anticipates a $248 million funding gap for major maintenance needs over the next 10 years. The $68 million in funds from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond will not address all of these maintenance issues, but it is vital to fi xing, upgrading and replacing the most crucial of these needs. Projects18 ahead of As your Parks Commissioner and Parks Director, we are making sure the funds will be used wisely and schedule maximize benefi ts to the greatest number of park users.

We serve on the BBAC as volunteers who have our city’s best interests in mind. With helpful support from the Director and her staff, we have spent many hours over the last five months reviewing the Bureau’s obligations and deliberating over its budget and strategy priorities. Together we have arrived at the following recommendations. Investment Strategy: The Bureau’s proposed Investment Strategy prioritizes funding projects that address three primary concerns: maintaining existing assets, managing for growth, and advancing safety. Underlying the selection and evaluation process is the Bureau’s laudable focus on equity. We support the adoption of this “triple-win” strategy. We are pleased to see safety and equity as top priorities of the Director and her staff. The City has been allocated transportation funding as a result of the Oregon Legislature passing the historic Oregon Transportation Package in House Bill 2017.
