Don’t miss rare chance to see three incredible gardens in a day
Elk Rock Garden, a beautiful estate garden in Portland’s Dunthorpe neighborhood situated atop the cliffs overlooking the Willamette River, is hosting a fundraiser to raise funds for the care of the garden. You can have the rare opportunity to see three great gardens in one day on May 9.
Whether you are a seasoned gardener, just starting out, or simply love gardens, these gardens will have something for everyone. All three tours will be guided by experts familiar with the gardens and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions about their gardens’ history, their special designs and specific plant care information.
The tour will include Peter Kerr’s Olmsted-influenced Elk Rock Garden, and the personal gardens of his daughters Jane Kerr Platt and Lady Anne Kerr McDonald, both privately owned and rarely open to the public.
These three unique gardens will feed your soul and inspire your garden planning!
Proceeds from this fundraiser will support the ongoing conservation work of the non-profit Elk Rock Garden and House and in its growth into a community learning hub.
Carpooling is strongly encouraged as there is limited parking.
Tickets are timed entry at specific gardens and $75 per person and non-refundable. Tours will happen rain or shine.
