S.L. and M.S. have two more wonderful field trips planned for Garden Club members in September and October you won’t want to miss! Members be sure to contact either of them for details – specific date for each trip, time, carpooling, etc.
A small nursery and display garden in SE Portland,
Arbutus Garden Arts specializes in noteworthy (meaning notable for unique features and worth growing in your garden)
Japanese maples, dwarf conifers, and
Epimediums. They grow many cutting edge and unusual varieties. The display garden is on an island surrounded by Johnson Creek in a little nook near the Springwater Trail in SE Portland. The garden shows their fondness for seasonally interesting plants and packs a lot into a relatively small area.

Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Gardens, 239 NW Everett Street, Portland OR.
Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland’s greatest treasures. Built by Chinese artisans from our sister city Suzhou (home of China’s famous ancient gardens), it’s among the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China. Much more than just a beautiful garden, Lan Su is a creative wonder — a powerfully inspiring experience based on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition that melds art, architecture, design and nature in perfect harmony. We will either eat lunch at the garden or a nearby restaurant. Purchase your own lunch.
