Proven Winners Oso Easy®️Paprika is a stunning, no-fuss rose that delivers a punch of color to the garden from mid-summer until frost. This incredibly cold-hardy, disease resistant variety blooms continuously without the need for deadheading, making it an ideal choice for even the most rose-averse gardeners! See it in action on our Fuchsia Hill.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Come join us at The Oregon Garden! We're celebrating sunflowers with yoga, painting, and planting in the Children's Garden as part of our new youth summer programming lineup! Wanting to relax after a long week instead? Spend a couple hours surrounded by bird song, the hum of bees, and rustling breezes as you're guided through yoga poses or awash in the restorative vibrations of a sound bath.

Now is the time for forageable fruit in the Pacific Northwest!

Prunus domestica, the European plum, is actually native to Turkey. It has naturalized in temperate regions throughout Europe and North America - so much so that it is often found outside of cultivation, growing along roadsides or forest edges, where it thrives in partial shade and almost any type of soil. The fruit can be various colors and is usually sweet, but sometimes sour.

Crataegus monogyna, common hawthorn, is also native to Europe and has been naturalized throughout the Pacific Northwest. The fruit is edible but generally unpleasant eaten raw - instead, it can be made into jellies or hawthorn ketchup.

Interestingly, you’ll often find both of these imported species growing alongside their native Oregon counterparts, the Klamath plum (Prunus subcordata) and black hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii), whose fruit can be used in almost exactly the same manner!

Last weekend we gave our work truck (donated by Capitol Chevrolet - thank you!) a good clean, filled her up with flowers and joined Silverton’s Homer Davenport Days parade!

And we even won a major award! Best Agriculture float - can you believe it? We love being a part of the Silverton community. It’s these weird, wacky, amazing, talented, hard-working, honest individuals that form the backbone of our support. Getting to celebrate with the individuals and many other organizations that make this town special is such a privilege.

There are so many stunning redbud cultivars to choose from, but this is one of our favorites in the Garden right now. Hearts A’Fire redbud was introduced in 2024 by Ray and Cindy Jackson of Jackson Nursery in Tennessee and took home an Award of Merit from the Farwest Show New Varieties Showcase that same year - and we see why!

This particular specimen was donated by Heritage Seedlings & Liners and serves as a memorial to the late wife of a dear Garden supporter. The color variation and vibrancy of the newer leaves has to be seen to be believed, so come see it in person just outside our Sensory Garden gazebo!

Oregonians are often surprised to learn how easy it can be to create a lush, tropical-looking landscape despite our cold winters and moderate humidity. Half of Western Oregon is temperate rainforest, after all!

The key to getting that island look? Big leaves, bright flowers and dense plantings! Choose canna lilies, hardy bananas and hostas for their large, succulent leaves. Crocosmia, agapanthus and hardy hibiscus produce beautiful tropical-looking flowers despite thriving in the climate of the Willamette Valley. And plant densely with very little exposed soil for that overgrown jungle feel, using grasses and groundcover like mondo grass and lily turf.

Would you enjoy creating a tropical oasis in your own backyard?
