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.
