My garden surrounds a 1911 Craftsman Foursquare house, encompassing three 50x100ft lots. The garden is naturalistic in style and methodology with many natives planted for birds and bees. I am interested in ecosystems and collect plants based on the geography of origin, site conditions, and many seasons of interest. The gardens are climate-adapted and are either drought-tolerant or watered with drip irrigation or soaker hoses. My collection of plants includes many PNW natives such as Arctostaphylos sp. (manzanita), trillium, and pacific coast Iris along with a selection of SW Oregon natives in the street-side garden. The back garden, on the north lot, now 24 years old, reflects an interest in Chinese gardens and includes many specimens of Arisaema, Camellia, Epimedium, Bamboo, Daphne, Mahonia, Lily, and Peony. The front porch garden, an area that gets a lot of hot, south-facing sun is a dry garden with plants such as Manzanita, Agave, Yucca, Grevillea, prickly-pear cactus (Opuntia), and other sun-loving, drought-tolerant native plants. The Eastern front porch garden includes a collection of native ribes (flowering current) plants.. The garden on the West side of the house expands the dry garden theme to include Australian/New Zealand plants. This spring, I am working on two dry stream beds that will feed into the Ying/Yang sunken garden. We are also currently converting some of the "lawn" into a native meadow and food forest but including some tasty summer vegetables.
