Our 1.5-acre country garden began in the late 1970s and is finally showing signs of abundant maturity. Most of the garden dates from the mid-1980s, when we put in a pond and drilled a well. We have sandy soil and live in a water-scarce area of Lane County. The garden is a densely planted collector's garden within a design framework. Paths lead the visitor into a woodland garden filled with a collection of trees and shrubs under which a host of rare, shade-loving perennials mingle. Parker and Zack, the social cats, and Bo, our greyhound, will give you a tour through the rock garden and large mixed perennial borders, including several mosaics by Jeffrey Bale.

Thanks to all who came to make it a successful day. We very much appreciate and admire your patience and understanding.
