(The tour begins and ends at Enterprise Rent a Car; 9319 NE Hwy 99, Vancouver, WA 98665).
Well begin at The Grotto to experience the comfort & peace that meditative gardens can bring on a self guided tour of the grounds. This serene woodland sanctuary in Northeast Portland features 62 acres of botanical gardens.
Next we will visit a 100-year old institution - Portland Nursery - for a presentation on companion/succession planting. They are committed to providing the most diverse selection of high quality plants and to sharing their expert horticultural knowledge. They believe anyone can achieve their gardening dreams given the right tools and guidance.
Lunch: On your own at: The Yard at Montavilla (food cart pod)
Last stop is Tonys Gardens Center where we will meet for an informative talk on vegetables, including cool weather crops and perennials. Tonys is a one-stop garden shop with an unbeatable selection of... everything! Their fresh and healthy plants are locally grown in their family-owned greenhouses and they will share the process with us.
The Grotto has ramps and some stairs to access the elevator to tour the upper level. There is quite a bit of walking involved. Dress for weather. Bring a walking stick if necessary.
Bring $8 for entry to the Grotto.
