Your walk through Leach doesn't strike me so much as a garden but more as a natural reserve park. It's very different but quite lovely too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-67420899942615514332022-11-25T14:43:43.856-08:002022-11-25T14:43:43.856-08:00The Leach Botanical Garden was probably the first ...The Leach Botanical Garden was probably the first garden I ever visited up in the Portland area. The rock garden always made me a bit sad, but I am glad that at least someone is putting in energy to maintain the place. Better than McMansions any time. Will be very sad to see Elk Rock Garden go. I've never been. It would be nice if there was a garden rescue party before everything gets destroyed.Jerryhttps://botanicachaotica.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-22873638387961633682022-11-25T12:14:25.858-08:002022-11-25T12:14:25.858-08:00Love the planting pocket with the fern.

I'm amazed you remember your first manzanita in Portland and that it's still there, despite of all the challenges manzanita faced in recent years. <br />I hope there's a chance the re-roofing project be a conversion to a green roof, but not holding my breath.<br />The hollowed logs would have been planted in my garden immediately.<br />ChavliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-39937150265935714672022-11-25T10:26:18.021-08:002022-11-25T10:26:18.021-08:00That tree walk would pull me in immediately.

I saw a tree planted inside a hollow log recently but that was just plain odd.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
