But your post shows other features and perspectives, making me wish even more that I could be there for the tour.<br /><br />To answer your question, Austin is also blessed with an abundance of garden tours. But if you have 2-3 such tours each weekend, well, then Portland wins, hands down.

Local tours (which are mostly pricey to begin with) tend to focus more on architecture and less on gardens. I haven't seen the same level of creativity and innovation in garden design down this way either. People like to say that SoCal is a gardener's paradise but I'd say that honor should go to Portland. Thanks for the tour highlights!

I know there are nowhere near as many garden tours in New England as we have here in the PNW. You probably know from reading mine and Peter's blogs that there are way more garden tours than anyone can keep up with here in the Seattle/Tacoma area.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-42697082233904336402013-06-19T10:29:49.789-07:002013-06-19T10:29:49.789-07:00What a compendium of ideas.
