Early SpringFest - Portland Gardens

Portland, Oregon is a gardener's mecca. Visitors throng the world-famous International Rose Garden, the Peninsula Park Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden, and the Crystal Springs Rhododendron garden year-round.

But the excitement for many lies in the city's myriad local neighborhoods, planted by homeowners for more than a century, unheralded by outsiders but revered by locals. Mid-February begins a cornucopia of color bookmarked by daffodils that lasts until the end of March--none of Portland's features noted above (roses, Japanese flora, and rhododendrons, let alone azaleas) are yet obvious.

About the author

This book is unusually noteworthy, because it celebrates the first six weeks of spring in two North Portland neighborhoods--typical of many of Portland's 91 neighborhoods,around the entire city. "OctoberFest: North Portland Gardens" by the same author portrayed these same neighborhoods for their abundant vibrant autumnal displays that richly acknowledge the wisdom and care that past generations have bestowed upon current homeowners .
