Drought Tolerant Plant Nursery Tour
This event is a true treat. You will learn about amazing drought tolerant plants and gardens while touring two of Oregon's unique nurseries, Dancing Oaks and Daryll's Nursery. The tour begins at 11:00 a.m. at Dancing Oaks with a walking lecture on drought tolerant plants while you gaze upon amazing display gardens. After the lecture you'll have a boxed lunch, tea, and dessert in the pavilion, and plenty of time to shop for plants at a 15% discount! At 2:30 the group will arrive at Daryll's Nursery for a walking lecture focusing on cistus (over 40 varieties) and ornamental grasses (over 100 varieties). After the lecture there is time for more shopping at a 15% discount! If you have dry patches, want to reduce your water bills, or lack an irrigation system, this is the event for you. Dancing Oaks is located in Monmouth and Daryll's is in Dallas so carpooling is encouraged; information about carpooling options will be sent to you a week before the class.

Garden School Workshop:
Grassy Knoll Wildflower Hike & Intro to Using Field Guides
Diana Reeck is a plant breeder and
explorer with a keen interest in rare
and unusual herbaceous plants, among
them erythroniums, small-flowered
clematis and epimediums. Along with
her late husband, Bill Janssen, she
founded Collector's Nursery, and
together they traveled throughout the
Pacific Northwest botanizing and
collecting plants. Diana introduced
many fine selections of native plants.
Diana will lead two hikes in Gifford
Pinchot National Forest this summer,
the first to Grassy Knoll on
Wednesday, June 30, and the second to
Silver Star Mountain on Saturday, July
10. Both will be all-day hikes, from 8:30
a.m. to approximately 4 p.m. Carpooling
from a designated meeting
point will be arranged.
Grassy Knoll is located about 1.5
hours' drive from Troutdale, or 45
minutes northeast of Stevenson,
Washington. This hike will be through
colorful wild flower meadows, natural
rock gardens, and deep forests, to the
site of an old lookout, continuing on
beyond this, with a fairly steep climb,
and following a flowery ridge to a turn
around point, then heading back, for a
total of about 5.5 miles. If the day is
clear, the views will be outstanding.
8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Grassy Knoll, Gifford Pinchot National Forest
$20, HPSO members and guests only.
