Jeff Fairchild Garden

My shade garden is situated on a steep hillside in NW Portland. Many plants were collected from Heronswood in the late 1990’s offering a glimpse of what these unusual varieties look like when mature. My garden includes unusual trilliums, toad lilies, podophyllums, hellebores, a wide variety of ferns including two varieties of tree ferns, epimediums, camellias and much more. Though our lot is a standard 50×100 foot lot, being on such a steep slope has offered me a larger planting space with different moisture and light conditions. Rustic paths throughout the garden for those wishing to explore the slopes or simply relax and enjoy the quiet. There are 50 stairs from the street to the front door so be ready to climb.
